There were no division one winners in tonight’s $70 million draw, sending the prize pool soaring for Boxing Day next Tuesday.
It’s the lottery’s second-biggest prize in the game’s 30-year history and the biggest Australian lottery jackpot since Powerball’s $100 million prize in August.
The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said as many as one-in-three Australians were expected to buy a ticket.

“As this is the second-biggest jackpot offered by Oz Lotto in three decades, we’re expecting it to be busy in-store and online in the lead-up to next Tuesday’s draw,” she said.
“This week’s Oz Lotto draw saw the peak of sales at 6.35pm on the day of the draw when more than 4113 tickets were sold in a minute.
“The idea of unboxing this life-changing jackpot on Boxing Day just days before 2024 arrives is sure to get Aussies dreaming big this week.”
