Now is the time to buy a TattsLotto ticket in Brimbank with more than $3.4 million being won in the past month over three separate entries.
Keilor Downs is the centre of the windfall with two syndicates purchased at the same Keilor Downs store winning Division One inside a month.
The store, Keilor Downs Plaza Lotto (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 15-share syndicate, Saturday One, bought at KDPL, took home $710,832.20 on Saturday night; one of six first division prize winners across the country.
The syndicate has been running for over a decade.
It comes a month after the same store sold a 15-share ticket, Winner’s Dream, on Saturday, August 27 which claimed more than $824,000.
Brimbank is in the midst of a TattsLotto hot streak after a Sunshine West man won $1.9 million on September 3.
KDPL owner of the past ten years Patrick Troncoso said the result was “incredible”.
“I’m feeling lucky, and I think we’re going to sell one more before the year is out,” he said.
“We hope that word gets around about our lucky outlet and we’ll be selling a division one winning ticket to our next happy customer soon.”
He said the syndicates were bought by local people from Taylors Lakes and Keilor Downs.
“Most of them are people who play regularly, I know them all,” he said.
“They’re all different nationalities, ranging from mid-30s to mid-60s. They’re hard working people, pensioners. Working class people.”
The winning numbers on Saturday night were 11, 12, 18, 45, 25 and 34 and the supplementary numbers 37 and 13.
