The Tattslotto draw may be responsible for some resolutions coming true this new year for those who win or share the $30 million jackpot.
Wodonga Tatts and Greetings owner Paul McKenzie-McHarg said business at his store had been “hectic”.
“There’s always plenty of interest,” he said.
“This is a mega draw and the biggest one of the year.”
Mr McKenzie-McHarg said he always told people “it’s hard to win but it’s a lot harder to win without a ticket”.
He said customers have lined up over the past seven weeks to purchase their tickets in tonight’s draw.
“We’ve had 46 division winners over the years so there’s a chance we could have a winner,” Mr McKenzie-McHarg said.
He will also be pencilling the time of the draw into his schedule.
Mr McKenzie-Mc Harg expected a last minute rush on entry sales today.
“These mega draws are great,” he said.
“They create a lot of interest and a lot of business.
“It is a very hectic time — while everyone is winding down from Christmas and the new year, we are winding up.”
He said the build-up was the same every year and it ended with a “big crescendo” on the night.
The draw will be at 8.30pm on Prime.
