Oz Lotto is set to jackpot again from $10 million after no one took out the division one prize.

There were some big division two winners, however, with three people each winning more than $70,000.

The lucky numbers this week were 41, 10, 32, 27, 29, 19, 21 and the supplementaries were 15 and 14.

So far this year, 12 division one winning entries have collectively taken home more than $167.1 million in Oz Lotto prize money.

Three weeks ago, a Sydney mum nabbed a $11 million prize.

The woman, a renter from Rosebery in the city’s eastern suburbs, was thinking about retiring early thanks to the windfall.

On August 17, the Rosebery mum was shocked when she was contacted by lottery officials to tell her the good news – that she had won just over $11 million.

The exact prize money was $11,002,697.57.

“I have won $11 million?” she said.

“Oh, you’re joking? You’re having me on?”

She said the windfall came at the perfect time, when she had been struggling financially amid Sydney’s lockdown.

Now she was thinking of buying her own house.

“I’ve been asking for financial freedom, and I can’t believe it’s happened,” she said.

She also wasn’t sure if she would stay at her job, saying: “I do like my job. Maybe I will keep working, maybe I won’t. I don’t know.

“I’ve always wanted my own home and to be able to provide for my family. I will certainly be able to do that now,” she said.

Financial freedom could be at one Aussie’s fingertips.

The Lott’s Matt Hart said his team were looking forward to breaking the news to someone on Tuesday night that they were a newly minted millionaire.

“We’ve had a steady stream of major Oz Lotto winners so far this year and we’re eagerly waiting to see if we crown our thirteenth Oz Lotto winner for 2021 this week,” he said.

“Recent winners have told us they’ll use their prizes to upgrade their homes, upgrade their future holidays and help their family and friends. I’m sure our next big winner will be able to upgrade their plans for 2021 and beyond.”

A survey from Oz Lotto past winners found the most popular thing to do with a large windfall was invest it for the future – which 63 per cent of survey respondents said they did.

The next most common way to spend the money was helping out family and friends, with 52 per cent of winners doing that.

Of the winners, 41 per cent paid off their mortgage with their new-found cash.

Then 36 per cent bought a new car, 25 per cent donated to charity and 23 per cent bought a new house.

Thirteen per cent retired from work while 5 per cent switched jobs or dropped down to part-time.

Only 3 per cent decided to take the plunge and start a new business venture.
