They bought the ticket from Meadow Mews News & Lotto, but never thought they would actually be winners.
"I bought two TattsLotto tickets on the weekend - one for me, and one for my wife," the winning husband said.
"We checked our tickets yesterday, and my wife just started screaming. I thought she had four numbers or something. All of a sudden, there's six winning numbers in a row.
"We went over that ticket about a hundred times or more. It's just unbelievable."

The couple said they would put the money towards renovations, an investment property and travel.
"At the moment though, we're trying to stay as calm as possible," he said.
As unregistered players, the TattsLotto had no way of contacting them after their win.
Meadow Mews News & Lotto knew they had a winner, and it wasn't until Monday afternoon that the couple came into the store.
Store owners Jeff and Viv Dolbey said it was an exciting day.
"Meadow Mews sold its last division one winning entry in December 2017. This will be our 21st division one win between our two stores - Meadow Mews News & Lotto and Kings Meadows News & Lotto," Jeff said.
