Oz Lotto Jackpot Soars to $70 Million!
The hunt is on for Australia's newest multi-millionaire! Tuesday night's Oz Lotto draw saw a staggering $70 million jackpot, the second-largest this year and the fourth highest in the game's 31-year history. This marks an incredible six weeks without a division one winner, leaving millions of Aussies scrambling to check their tickets.
A Life-Changing Win
The winning numbers for draw 1626 were 14, 2, 13, 29, 41, 23, and 8. Supplementary numbers were 43, 4, and 40. One lucky individual has won the entire prize! While one lucky winner takes home the massive jackpot, 41 others secured second division prizes of $24,374.50 each, and 289 players won division three prizes of $4,086.70. The Lott’s Anna Hobdell emphasizes the importance of registering tickets for instant notification of a win. She recounts the experience of notifying winners, noting the range of reactions from speechless shock to excited disbelief.
The Race to Claim the Prize
With the odds of winning Division 1 at a slim 1 in 62,891,499, the excitement is palpable. The Lott anticipates a last-minute rush of ticket purchases before the 7:30 pm AEST cut-off. This massive jackpot follows a recent trend of significant wins, including a $100 million prize won by an Elizabeth Hills woman and a $15 million win by a Mackay man. The current financial year has already seen 316 division one winners.
Responsible Gambling
While the allure of a $70 million jackpot is undeniable, remember to gamble responsibly. Lottery tickets should be considered entertainment, not a financial investment. Set a budget and stick to it. If gambling becomes a problem, resources like Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) are available.
