A group of 12 Melbourne residents, part of a lottery syndicate named 'Charm Me,' are celebrating a significant windfall after winning a share of the division one prize in the TattsLotto draw on Saturday, February 17, 2024. Each member of the syndicate is set to receive $74,493.75 from the total prize of $683,814.78.
The winning tickets were distributed across eight different Tatts outlets throughout Melbourne, contributing to the excitement spreading across the city. Some members of the winning syndicate, however, may still be unaware of their luck due to unregistered entries.
Amol Kapoor, owner of Plenty Luck News & Lotto, one of the participating outlets, said the winning syndicate was a sweet surprise for his outlet.
“We were in shock when we found out our group syndicate held a division one winning entry in the weekend’s TattsLotto draw,” he said.
“We have been telling all of our customers that we were due for another division one winning entry as it’s been over a year since we last sold one.
“There will be many smiles in our newsagency this week as we decorate the store with balloons, posters, and streamers.
“I’d like to thank all the retailers who were also a part of the winning syndicate that sold division one. They have been a part of my journey and I hope we can continue this winning streak.
“Congratulations to all the syndicate members who picked up a share of the $740,000 division one win. We hope we can share some of the winning news with you this week!”
With some of the syndicate members holding unregistered entries, The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said some of the winning group might still be unaware of their good fortune.
“While we will be reaching out to those syndicate members who registered their tickets to their player card, there are several syndicate members who hold unregistered entries and may not yet know they’re part of this winning group,” she said.
