The 20-share store syndicate held one of 16 division one winning entries in Saturday's TattsLotto draw.
Shares in the syndicate were bought at Yarrawonga News and Gifts, with owners Gary Douglas and Sue Castelow thrilled to have sold a successful ticket after only taking over the business in August.
"There's been a buzz around the shop and town since the news broke," Mr Douglas said.
"Everyone hopes it's them that's won a share in the prize money.
