One lucky punter has scored the entire $70 million in Tuesday’s Oz Lotto draw.
The single ticketholder is from Queensland.
The winning numbers were 8, 13, 14, 23, 29, 32, 41, and the supplementary numbers were 4, 40, 43.
Oz Lotto’s eye-watering $70m was the fourth biggest jackpot in the game’s 31-year history and the second biggest prize offered by any lottery game in Australia this year.
It was anticipated thousands of entries per minute were sold at lottery outlets and online as players rushed to grab a last-minute entry before the draw closed on Tuesday.
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said Aussies eagerly eyed Oz Lotto’s $70 million prize in the hope of becoming a newly-minted multi-millionaire just in time for Easter.
“If one person takes home the entire $70 million prize, not only will they enjoy a multi-million-dollar boost this Easter, but they’ll immediately be crowned the title of Oz Lotto’s second biggest individual lottery winner ever,” she said.
“There’s something about a $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot that sparks the imagination of Aussies everywhere, igniting the family group chats, office syndicates, and dreamers across the country.
“The last time we saw a $70 million Oz Lotto draw was in January 2025 when the peak of sales was at 12.06pm on the day of the draw when 4,297 tickets were sold in a single minute.”
Ms Hobdell encouraged all players to register their tickets to The Lott Members Club to avoid missing out on a life-changing call should they win division one.
“We can’t wait to hopefully make some more winning phone calls tomorrow night and transform the lives of more Aussies across the country.”
