The hunt to find Australia’s newest multi-millionaire is on after Tuesday night’s $70million Oz Lotto draw.
Millions of Aussies are scrambling to find their tickets in the hope of a massive pre-Easter windfall.
The eye-watering jackpot was the second biggest this year and fourth highest prize pool in Oz Lotto’s 31-year history.
There have been no division one winners for sixth consecutive weeks.
The numbers for draw 1626 were 14, 2, 13, 29, 41, 23 and 8. The supplementary numbers were 43, 4 and 40.
One in five Aussie adults were expected to buy a ticket for Tuesday’s draw, which has already topped every major jackpot in 2024.
Thousands of entries per minute have been generated at lottery outlets and online.
No draw last year had a jackpot higher than $50million.
Tuesday night’s jackpot was the second highest in 2025
Oz Lotto’s last division one winner was a Mackay man who took home the entire $15million jackpot on February 25.
The Northern Queenslander did not realise he had won until he received a call from The Lott officials.
‘Holy f***ing s***,’ he said.
‘I have to call my parents and partner immediately. My mum is really into lotteries, she won’t believe it.’
An Elizabeth Hills woman from south-west Sydney snared the entire $100million jackpot weeks earlier.
Tuesday night’s jackpot was worth a whopping $70million
It had been 12 years since the last $100 million Oz Lotto jackpot, which was shared by four division one entries across Victoria, NSW and Queensland.
So far, there have been 316 division one winners in the current financial year.
In 2024, 17 Oz Lotto division one winners across Australia collectively won more than $295 million.
