Monbulk Quartet Claims AU$6.49 Million TattsLotto Division One Prize

A long-standing lottery syndicate comprising four close friends from Monbulk, Victoria, has successfully claimed the entire Division One prize in a recent TattsLotto draw, securing an impressive AU$6,490,533.39. This substantial windfall, equivalent to approximately US$4.5 million, marks the culmination of decades of collective participation in lottery games for the group.

The winning ticket for TattsLotto Drawing 4665, held on April 4, 2026, matched all main numbers: 2, 4, 13, 5, 14, and 37, alongside supplementary numbers 21 and 22. Notably, this particular entry was the sole Division One winner across Australia for this draw, resulting in the Monbulk quartet collecting the full jackpot amount.

The victorious 12-game entry was acquired from the Monbulk Authorised Newsagency, situated at 76 Main Street in Monbulk. The winners, who have maintained a private syndicate for an extended period, disclosed that they had been consistently playing the identical set of numbers for an astonishing 40 years. This dedicated approach ultimately yielded a significant payout for the tight-knit group.

Upon being notified by an official from The Lott on Sunday, one of the syndicate members expressed considerable surprise and delight, confirming the collaborative nature of the ticket. Each of the four friends is now poised to receive an approximate share of AU$1.6 million. The spokesperson for the group indicated that a portion of the winnings would provide crucial support to a friend who has recently faced personal hardship.

Reflecting on the personal impact, the anonymous winner stated that while the prize offered the possibility of retirement, their current professional engagements were fulfilling, leading them to view the funds instead as a substantial “nest egg” for future security. This win also underscores the success of the Monbulk Authorised Newsagency, which has now sold three Division One winning tickets within the last four years, a testament to its fortunate track record. The syndicate member also noted the achievement of a long-held ambition to secure a TattsLotto top prize with his friends.
