Oz Lotto is set to jackpot again from $5 million after nobody scored the division one prize.
The numbers you needed this week were 39, 13, 35, 34, 32, 24, 38 and the supplementaries were 8 and 19.
So far this year, there have been 15 division one lottery winners across the country who have won more than $247 million between them.
Five of these wins have landed in Victoria, four in NSW, three in Western Australia, two in Queensland and one in the Northern Territory.
The last time someone won a prize similar to $5 million was back in May this year.
A woman from southeast Melbourne scored the cash after going through a “tough time”.
The Endeavour Hills woman was ecstatic when she learned of her $5.6 million win.
“Oh my god! Oh my god! I am so sorry, I can’t stop crying,” she told The Lott after an official delivered the good news in May.
“I am feeling so many mixed emotions right now. Oh sh*t! This is crazy. I can’t even hold the phone right now.
“I can’t stop shaking! Sorry, I am all over the place right now. This is incredible.
“I’ve had quite a tough time lately, so this just adds some light to my life. I am so emotional. I need to hang up this phone and just break down.
“We will definitely help our family.
“I am sure we will go on a few holidays too. But otherwise, I am not sure. I can’t think straight.”
However, one past winner who scored a $30 million windfall last year warned that becoming an instant multi-millionaire also had its downsides.
The ex-tradie aged in his 30s previously told news.com.au: “What my motto has become, I guess winning the lotto doesn’t make you any happier, it just makes life easier.
“If you’re not happy, and you want to win the lottery [to change that] you’re going to be terribly mistaken.”
He had a lot of “weird” experiences when he told friends and family about the windfall.

“People have come out of the woodwork,” he said.
“A lot of people find out through the grapevine – they never actually ask you. I had someone that I haven’t even seen since I was in school, probably 15 years ago.”
One very close friendship soured because “they didn’t take it well” when he told them he was now a multi-millionaire.
