The 10 members of the aptly-named “Celebration” syndicate will surely be kicking up their heels and shouting with glee after their syndicate entry in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw yielded them a division one prize worth over $1.9 million.
The syndicate entry was one of the two division one winning entries across Australia in TattsLotto draw 3925, drawn Saturday 2 March 2019. Each entry won a division one prize of $1,977,896.39.
In addition to winning division one, the “Celebration” syndicate’s System Quickpick entry also won division three six times bolstering the syndicate’s total prize to $1,987,409,69.
Each member of the “Celebration” syndicate receives a share worth $198,740.97.
Shares in the group syndicate, set up by Cairnlea News & Lotto, were sold in three outlets across Melbourne.
- Cairnlea News & Lotto, Shop 15, Cairnlea Shopping Centre, 100 Furlong Road, Cairnlea. (6 shares)
- Derrimut Village News & Lotto, Shop 8, 20 Mt Derrimut Road, Derrimut. (2 shares)
- Prahran Lotto, Shop 14A, Pran Central Shopping Centre, 325 Chapel St, Prahran. (2 shares)
Cairnlea News & Lotto owner Xiuli Bao said selling a division one winning entry was a great way to start the year.
“Wow! That’s wonderful!” she exclaimed.
“We run this syndicate every Saturday with our regular customers.
“We’ll be celebrating in store this week with lots of balloons, posters and telling all our customers that our syndicates do win.
“We often get asked if any of our syndicates have won a big prize and now we can proudly say ‘yes’!
“This is the fifth major prize winning entry we’ve sold since taking over the shop in March 2016 but it’s the first big win for this syndicate.
“We want to congratulate our winners and wish them all the best for their future.
“We want to thank them for believing in us and we wish them good luck!”
Tatts spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said some “Celebration” syndicate members held unregistered entries and may have yet to discover their winning news.
“It certainly will be a day of celebrations when these syndicate members discover they each scored more than $198,000!
“While we’ll be reaching out to those syndicate members who registered their entry to their Tatts Cards, there are some 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 Saturday’s TattsLotto draw, today’s the day to check it! If you discover you’re holding a winning share, call Tatts 131 868 to start the prize claim process!”
