Millions entered the draw for the $90m jackpot, the second-highest Oz Lotto draw in history
The second-biggest prize in Oz Lotto history was on offer this Boxing Day after nine consecutive jackpots, the second highest in the game’s history.
Three entries shared the first prize in the massive $90m Oz Lotto Boxing Day draw, the second-biggest prize in game history.
The winning tickets have each won $32,629,794.23.
The jackpot came about after the last nine draws went without a division one winner.
The winning number were 17 44 22 42 31 24 28, with supplementary numbers 3 16 39.
More details of the winning entries are expected to be announced later.
The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said millions of Aussies had been expected to get involved in the draw with the life-changing amount of money on the line.
“Up to a third of Australian adults are expected to have a ticket in their hands before the draw’s close tonight,” he said.
“It seems many are dreaming about a festive season they’ll never forget and all the possibilities a prize of this magnitude might create in 2024 and beyond.”
This year there have been 13 division one winners who have taken home $233m in prize money.
Three of these wins have landed in both Victoria and NSW, one in South Australia and two each in Western Australia, Tasmania and Queensland.
