“It’s such great news! This syndicate has been running for over a year now. We try and make the same syndicates every week and keep a huge range for all our customers,” he shared.
“To say our customers will be excited is an understatement. I know they will be thrilled that it has been shared around.
“The last time we sold a division one winning entry was in April 2019, so we’re really pleased to have seen another one come our way this year!
“We hope our division one syndicate members are as excited as we are. We wish them all the best and congratulate them on their windfall.”
While some of the winning syndicate members held registered entries and have been notified of their win, The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said some of the winning group might still be unaware of their good fortune.
“We’ve been reaching out to those syndicate members who registered their tickets to their player card or online account. However, some of the syndicate members held unregistered entries and may not yet know they’re part of this winning group,” she said.
“If you purchased a share into a store syndicate in the recent Saturday Gold Lotto draw, today’s the day to check it!
