A strong run of jackpots has given Tatts Group a big boost ahead of its mooted $11 billion merger with Tabcorp, which both companies hope will be wrapped up by Christmas.

Tatts on Tuesday received orders from the Supreme Court of Victoria to hold its shareholder vote on December 12 whether to approve the scheme of arrangement for the merger, which was first announced to the market in October last year.
