The players had a workplace syndicate entry that won the Lucky Lotteries Mega Jackpot draw on January 15.
The members said they spent that morning planning how to use their portion of the prize, which included holidays and renovations.
The winners, who wish to remain anonymous, purchased their entry of seven random numbers at Moss Vale Newsagency on Clarence Street.
A NSW Lotteries official called the syndicate members the next morning, who erupted into cheers and laughter upon hearing confirmation of their win.
"I saw I had a few missed calls, but thought it was just my husband, so I didn't bother calling back," the syndicate leader said.
"I called everyone straight away and told them. They were all shocked and didn't believe me.
"We will have to celebrate with a nice dinner when we see the money in our accounts.
"What an awesome day that will be."
The syndicate members admitted they'd spent their morning at work planning how to use their prize.
Moss Vale Newsagency owner David Reid said the outlet was celebrating selling it's 22nd major prize.
"How great is that? It's just wonderful." he said.
"We are very happy for the private syndicate and we wish them all the best with their prize.
"We have had quite a few wins in the past, so we consider the outlet very lucky."
