Feeling lucky, punter? Then move to Keilor.
The Keilor area is the centre of a major TattsLotto windfall, with just shy of $11 million won in Brimbank since August 27.
A Melbourne grandfather, believed to live in the Keilor area, claimed $7.5 million Tuesday night’s $15 million Oz Lotto draw, with an 18-game ticket bought at Keilor News, LPO and Lotto on the Calder Highway.
The Keilor store also sold a $1 million Lotto winning ticket back in June 2014.
Store owner Jordan Duzelovski said people were driving more than 20 kilometres from across Melbourne to buy tickets at his store.
“We’ve had eight or nine Division Two winners in the last month or two, I’m wrapped,” he says.
“It’s good for our store. People are coming from Essendon to buy tickets; we had one guy from Epping this week.”
The Star Weekly revealed last month two syndicates purchased at the same Keilor Downs store – Keilor Downs Plaza Lotto (KDPL) – won Division One within a month. Separate syndicates won $710,832.20 on September 24 and $824,000 on August 27.
KDPL owner Patrick said both syndicates were bought by people from the Taylors Lakes and Keilor Downs areas.
KDPL has now sold six division one winning entries over the past nine years – in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2014 and now two this year – and 18 over the past 30 years.
A Sunshine West man also won $1.9 million on Lotto on September 3.
