Thirty Melburnians have each started the working week $170,000 richer after their syndicate entries won division one in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw.
The two Melbourne syndicates, each with 15 members, were among the eight division one wins in TattsLotto draw 4233, on Saturday 12 February 2022. Each division one winning entry scored a $2.5 million prize.
However, some members of the two winning Victorian syndicates may have yet to realise their good fortune, prompting lottery officials to urge players to check their tickets as soon as possible.

“When a syndicate wins, it’s great to see so many people so happy. As corny as it sounds, it does change people’s lives.
“I’ve already spoken to some of the regulars in the syndicate and it’s such a bright light in their lives given what everyone’s had to go through for the past two years.
“They’re almost in tears. They’re just so happy. Some have home renovations plans, while others are paying off a few bills and getting ahead.
