“We have been running this syndicate for quite a few years. We are so happy for our syndicate members – some of them are regular members.

“The last time we sold a division one winning entry was in February last year. This is an exciting time for our store and customers. Let’s hope we will sell division one again soon.

“Congratulations and all the best to our winners.”

The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said he encouraged anyone who purchased a syndicate share into the recent Saturday Lotto draw to check their entries as soon as possible.
