Ten Melbourne syndicate members have waltzed into the new week grinning from ear to ear after sharing a $1 million prize in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The group syndicate held one of the five division one winning entries nationally in TattsLotto draw 4473, drawn Saturday 1 June 2024. Each division one winning entry scored a prize worth $1,048,013.90.
In addition to scoring division one, the syndicate’s 50-game QuickPick entry also scored division five and division six 5 times, bolstering their total prize to $1,048,074.80.
Each member of the syndicate received a share worth $104,807.48.
Entries into the winning store syndicate were set up by Sunshine Plaza News & Lotto, Shop T11, Sunshine Plaza, 324-328 Hampshire Road, Sunshine. Entries were also sold at Flemington Lotto, 294 Racecourse Road, Flemington.
However, some members of the Melbourne syndicate may have yet to realise their good fortune, prompting lottery officials to urge players to check their tickets as soon as possible.
The Sunshine Plaza News & Lotto manager Tom Pham said his team were so happy and over the moon to have sold a division one winning syndicate.
“How lucky are we! This is our second division one winning entry sold this year and we can’t believe it’s come around again so soon,” he said.
“This syndicate consisted of 250 games for 10 shares and myself and my colleague Xuan Tran have been running this syndicate every Saturday for our regulars.
“These 10 syndicate members have come in every week to support us, and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Everyone is so nice and supportive, and we’re glad they picked up a $1 million win.
“Congratulations to every single one of our syndicate members and we can’t wait to see some of you discover your win in-store.”
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell congratulated members of the winning syndicate and emphasised the impact a win like this could have.
“Imagine winning more than $1 million with a group of your local neighbours and friends. It would be an incredible feeling!” she said.
“With each member of this store syndicate taking home more than $104,000, a number of people around Melbourne are about to have their lives significantly enhanced.
“You could get started on those renovations you’ve always dreamt of, embark on the overseas holiday you’ve always wanted or drive away in a brand-new car. The possibilities are endless!
“While we’ll be reaching out to those syndicate members who registered their entries, there are many 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 weekend’s TattsLotto draw, today’s the day to check it!
“If you discover you’re holding a winning share, call The Lott on 131 868 to start the prize claim process!”
