FIVE Hallam workers were jumping for joy this week when they learned they’d won the lotto.
The private syndicate of five colleagues won a division one share in the $20 million Valentine’s Superdraw.
The syndicate captain said he was unaware of the life changing news until they were informed by a Tatts official.
He said the five co-workers had been playing TattsLotto for about 16 years and always purchased a System 8 entry made up of lucky numbers that they’d all selected.
“With our windfall I think some of us will pay off our mortgages and do some renovations,” he said.
The Hallam workers, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their System 8 entry, which won division one and additional divisional prizes totalling $1,190,071, from Hallam Square News and Lotto.
Hallam Square News and Lotto owner Gabriel Carr said he was thrilled to hear the news.
“It’s been an amazing journey so far and I already can’t wait for our next big win!” he said.
“I’ve been telling my customers that I’m hoping to do it again and that you never know when we may get our hat-trick!”
