After a decade of attempting to win the lottery, 10 Echuca locals are finally celebrating a victory, thanks to their syndicate entry scoring more than $822,000 in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The store syndicate held one of the eight division one winning entries in TattsLotto draw 4171, drawn Saturday 10 July 2021. Each division one winning entry takes home a $756,133.42 prize.
In addition to winning division one, the syndicate’s entry also scored division two 2 times, division three 42 times, division four 20 times and division six 10 times, bolstering their total windfall to $822,554.82.
Each of the 10 syndicate members receives a share worth $82,255.48.
The winning syndicate was from Echuca Square Lotto, 26 Nish Street, Echuca.
Echuca Square Lotto owner Gavin Sullivan said his heart skipped a beat when he saw he’d made more of his customers division one winners.
“We were so happy when we heard we’d sold another division one winning entry,” he admitted.
“The syndicate, called New Start, is a standard weekly syndicate that’s been running for more than a decade!
“Most of the syndicate members are regulars, or at least semi-regular players.
“We are absolutely stoked for them! I am sure it will make a big difference to all of their lives.
“We sold a division one winning entry earlier in the year and we can’t wait to sell another!
“It always creates such a great atmosphere and all of our customers get so excited hoping it will be their turn next.”
The Lott spokesperson Ally Ramsamy said some syndicate members held unregistered entries and might have yet to discover their exciting news.
“This syndicate held one of the eight division one winning entries in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw,” she said.
“I can imagine these syndicate members aren’t struggling with any Monday blues after making their division one discovery.
“We will be reaching out to those syndicate members who registered their entries, but there are still some members who have unregistered entries and may not yet know they’re part of this winning syndicate.
“If you purchased a share in a syndicate for the recent TattsLotto, 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!”
