A syndicate of four retail workers have shared a $1.1 million TattsLotto prize from a ticket bought at Noble Park.
The anonymous winners had taken out a division one prize – plus 12 division three and 15 division four combos – for a total of $1,117,167.92.
One from the syndicate heard the news more than a week after the 8 February draw.
She had been on holiday without mobile reception at the time.
“It wasn’t until I landed at the airport that I got the message we had won, so I came straight into work to celebrate with them and confirm the prize.
“They’ve been celebrating all week so it’s great we can now celebrate together.”
She was looking forward to spoiling her kids and grandkids with the spoils.
“The others have said they will use their share to do up their homes and buy a new car.”
The entries were bought from Noble Park News & Tatts in Douglas Street Noble Park.
The owner Tanya Sang was “surprised” and “excited” to sell a division one winner for the first time since taking over the business two years ago.
“The shop has been here for over 60 years so it has sold plenty during its time.
“Our customers think our shop brings them luck and we always say that positive thinking like that is how you win – you never know when it’s going to happen.”
