The winning numbers for draw 1616 were 3, 34, 35, 26, 44, 39, 36, with supplementary numbers 5, 45, 6.

Lottery organisers were expecting up to a third of Australian adults to buy a ticket.

They said before the draw that if a single person won they would be the richest winner in the competition’s history.

It wasn’t yet known if tonight’s winning ticket belonged to one person or a syndicate.

“The last time Oz Lotto offered a jackpot of this magnitude was over a decade ago in November 2012, so this is an offer you won’t want to miss,” The Lott spokesperson Khat McIntyre said yesterday.

“It’s hard to put into words what it’s like to tell someone they’ve won a multimillion-dollar prize.”
