Horsham syndicate hits jackpot

Horsham Plaza Lotto sold the winning ticket worth $688,011.37 and owner Paul McLean said he was sharing in their excitement.

"Another win from our store is great; we have had three division one winners from here in 13 months," Mr McLean said.

Mr McLean said he took great pleasure in ringing the winners from the syndicate on Monday morning and letting them know they had won $68,801.14 each.

"I think I am extra excited about this one because it is an in-house syndicate between 10 people that I organise," he said.

"They have been taking the same numbers since we have been here nearly, so that is nearly three years. They have had a few minor division wins, very minor in comparison to $68,000 each.

"I have contacted most of them, they are over the moon. It's fantastic for them all and they're very deserving people.

''I had one of them call me back because she couldn't believe it, the shock of seeing that they had the six numbers."

A spokeswoman for Tatts Lotto said members of the syndicate paid just $11.75 each to purchase a share in the weekly syndicate which was first set up about three years ago.

Six winners

"There were six division one winners in Saturday night's TattsLotto draw,'' she said. ''There were two from Victoria and one each from Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia.

"The winning numbers were 23, 40, 42, 38, 30 and 17. The supplementary numbers were 15 and 24."

None of the winners wished to be named.
