A Kilmore man now knows it pays to always wear his glasses after initially misreading his $550,000 TattsLotto win as a $500 prize.

The happy man held one of the nine division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4081, drawn Saturday (Aug. 29). Each entry took home a division one prize of $555,248.73.

The man plans to use his prize to pay off his mortgage and go on some future holidays to Europe.

The regular player, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased his entry at Kilmore Authorised Newsagency, 41 Sydney St, Kilmore.
