888 Lotto Lidcombe owner Jeff Chan said it was great that many people would enjoy a slice of the coveted division one prize.
“It’s very impressive so many people won! Not just in this syndicate with 89 members, but with 27 division one winning entries in total — it’s remarkable!” he said.
“We’ve had this syndicate going for a while now, and I always think that a syndicate entry has a good chance to win division one because it’s a bigger entry with more numbers.
“I’m very happy for all of our customers and everyone who had a share. I’m still waiting to help make my first millionaire, but this is still great! I’m sure everyone is happy.
“I hope they all enjoy their prize and we’ll be aiming to sell two division one winning entries in a row!”
NSW Lotteries spokesperson Matt Hart said more than half of the syndicate members held unregistered entries and might still be unaware of their good fortune.
“This syndicate’s entry was one of the five New South Wales entries to take home that coveted division one prize in the weekend’s Saturday Lotto $20 Million Superdraw,” he said.
“What a great way to start the week knowing you’re part of a winning group.
“While we’ll be reaching out to those syndicate members who registered their tickets to their NSW Players Club cards, there are many syndicate members who have unregistered entries and may not yet know they’re part of this winning group.
“If you purchased a share in a syndicate for the recent Saturday Lotto draw, today’s the day to check it! If you discover you’re holding a winning share, call NSW Lotteries on 131 868 to start the prize claim process!”
