The store syndicate held one of the 19 division one winning entries in Saturday Gold Lotto draw 4117, drawn Saturday 2 January 2021. Each division one winning entry scored $1,578,947.37.
In addition to winning division one, the syndicate’s System 9 entry also won division three 18 times, division four 45 times, and division six 20 times, bolstering the total prize to $1,596,016.92.
Each member of the 10-strong syndicate receives a share worth $159,601.70.
Entries into the winning store syndicate were sold at Midway News, Shop 2, 544 Oxley Avenue, Redcliffe.
Midway News owners Gary Gommers and Erica Benci said they were as thrilled as their syndicate winners to welcome a division one win.
“I started shaking when I first saw we’d sold a division one winning syndicate,” Erica said.
“I couldn’t believe it! I had to triple check the results screen.
“We’re beyond excited about this win. We’ve been hanging out for this since the last division one win eight years ago.
“It’s brought lots of smiles to us and our customers.
“A big congratulations to all our syndicate members.”
The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said he urged anyone who purchased an entry in the weekend’s Saturday Gold Lotto $30 Million Megadraw to check their entry today.
“While many of the Midway News syndicate members registered their entries to a player card, others may have yet to discover they’re part of this winning group,” he said.
