You’ve won Tattslotto! What happens next matters most
A sudden financial windfall brings opportunity — but it also brings complexity. The truth is, managing new wealth successfully requires a different mindset — and a different skill set — to earning it.
At Independent Wealth Partners, we help TattsLotto winners turn sudden wealth into lasting financial security, freedom, and clarity. Through careful strategy and considered advice, we guide clients through the transition from uncertainty to confidence.
The Emotional and Financial Challenges of Sudden Wealth
For most people, wealth is something built gradually over time. When it arrives all at once, the learning curve can be steep.
Sudden wealth brings unfamiliar decisions:
Should you pay off your mortgage or keep some debt?
Where should you invest, and in what structure?
How do you handle requests for money — especially from family or friends?
How do you plan for tax? Or children? Or retirement?
There’s also a very human side to consider: winners often feel isolated, anxious about making a mistake, or unsure of whom they can trust. Without a framework for making good decisions, it’s easy to fall into reactive choices — or to do nothing at all.
A Calm, Structured Approach When You Need It Most
In the wake of a significant financial event like winning TattsLotto, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. The stakes are high, and the decisions can feel daunting. That’s why we begin with a calm, methodical approach — designed to give you space, clarity, and control.
We don’t start with financial products or investments. We start with you — your values, your concerns, and your vision for the future.
Step 1: Discovery and Clarity
We begin with a deep discovery process to help you reflect on and define:
What matters most to you — now and over the long term
Your current financial position and key priorities
The people and causes you care about
The lifestyle you want to live — and sustain
This process is collaborative, confidential, and entirely at your pace. We help you identify blind spots, understand your choices, and prioritise what needs immediate attention.
Step 2: Managing Immediate Risks
Sudden wealth can come with immediate risks — from unexpected tax exposure to emotional pressure from others. We help you:
Understand and plan for your tax obligations
Secure your privacy and limit unwanted attention
Set healthy boundaries with those around you
Protect your assets from risk or mismanagement
We work with experienced legal and accounting partners to ensure no stone is left unturned.
Step 3: Building a Long-Term Strategy
With clarity and stability established, we design a bespoke long-term strategy tailored to your life. This may include:
Investment structuring to balance growth, income, and risk
Setting up trusts or entities for tax efficiency and asset protection
Planning for family dynamics, inheritance, or charitable giving
Reviewing your estate plan and future-proofing your wishes
Establishing a sustainable income stream to fund your lifestyle
Everything we recommend is designed to align with your goals and values — no generic advice, no off-the-shelf solutions.
Step 4: Ongoing Guidance and Peace of Mind
We don’t disappear once a plan is in place. We provide ongoing advice and proactive adjustments as your life evolves. Whether it's planning a move, launching a passion project, supporting your children, or navigating a change in circumstances — we’re with you every step of the way.
Our role is to simplify the complex, protect what matters, and help you make decisions with confidence and clarity.
