Four Friends Win Over AU$2.1M in TattsLotto After 17 Years of Playing Together

A group of four longtime friends from Mornington Peninsula, Victoria has finally hit the jackpot after years of persistence. They won a division one prize in TattsLotto draw 4609, held on Saturday, September 20, 2025.

A 17-Year Streak Ends with a Jackpot

For 17 years, the private lottery syndicate played the same numbers with limited success. Until recently, their biggest prize was a division three win. However, that all changed over the weekend.

Their System 10 entry matched the winning numbers:
27, 10, 5, 38, 25, and 26, along with supplementary numbers 34 and 15.

As a result, their ticket was one of only three division one winners in the draw, securing a massive AU$2,162,532.87 payout — around $1.4 million USD.

Celebrations and Future Plans

Shortly after the win, The Lott contacted one of the syndicate members to confirm the exciting news. Naturally, the winner was stunned.

“It’s been a funny couple of days! We’ve had the same TattsLotto entry going for 17 whole years and can’t believe it.”

Following the announcement, the group held a virtual meeting to celebrate. Meanwhile, each member began considering how to use their newfound wealth.

“I’ll be paying off the mortgage, that’s for sure,” said the syndicate leader. “Thank you to The Lott!”

In addition, he mentioned that their consistent playing finally paid off — making the win even more meaningful.

A Strong Year for TattsLotto Players

So far in 2025, 310 Australians have claimed division one wins, with 121 of those coming from Tatts customers. In fact, The Lott confirmed that in FY25 alone, TattsLotto created 165 new millionaires.

Moreover, this particular win adds to a growing list of inspiring stories from everyday players who turn persistence into life-changing success.
