Ten people who were part of a syndicate Tattslotto ticket purchased in Craigieburn and Thomastown will share in $740,000 after claiming a share of division 1 from Saturday’s Tattslotto draw.
Shares to the “Lucky Rainbow’ syndicate ticket were purchased at Highland News & Lotto in Craigieburn and Thomastown News & Lotto, Thomastown, with each person to get nearly $76,000.
The syndicate was one of seven tickets nationally to share in the division 1 pool.
As well as winning division 1, the syndicate’s marked System 8 entry also won division three, 18 times, and division four, 51 times, bolstering the syndicate’s total prize to $758,445.75.
Highland News & Lotto manager Kevin Ung said he was very excited to discover his outlet had sold shares in a division one-winning syndicate.
“I’m very excited for our winners,” he exclaimed.
“This syndicate is called Lucky Rainbow, and we’ve been running it in our store since May.
“The phone has not stopped ringing since our customers discovered they’ve won.
“While we can’t celebrate all together due to COVID-19, I look forward to restrictions lifting so we can celebrate later.
“My customers are very loyal to our store and I feel very privileged to be able to sell them a winning ticket.”
It’s the third division one-winning syndicate entry that has been sold at the Craigieburn store this year.
The Lott spokesperson Bronwyn Spencer said some syndicate members held unregistered entries and might have yet to discover their winning news.
“It’s fair to say these syndicate members have had a great start to their week by pocketing over $75,000 each,” she exclaimed.
“If you purchased a share in a syndicate for the most recent TattsLotto draw, today’s the day to check it.”
