Oz Lotto is set to jackpot from $5 million after no one took home the big prize.

The lucky numbers you needed this week were 18, 34, 14, 8, 17, 42, 36 and the supplementaries were 30 and 40.

So far this year, there have been 12 Oz Lotto division one winning entries, collectively scoring $167 million in division one prize money.

The last time someone nabbed a division one prize for the lotto was two weeks ago.

A mum who was renting in Sydney’s eastern suburbs took home the entire $11,002,697.57 million prize.

One lucky Aussie could walk away from the Tuesday night lottery $5 million richer.

On August 17, the Rosebery mum was shocked when she was contacted by lottery officials to tell her the good news.

“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.

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

She also said she 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.

Two weeks ago, a Sydney mum won $11 million.

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.
