Single ticket scoops entire mammoth $70m Oz Lotto pool

A single winner has claimed Tuesday night’s mammoth $70m Oz Lotto draw, with their life changed in an instant.

The $70 million first division prize is the second-richest of any Australian lottery game this year, and Oz Lotto’s fourth richest prize ever.

The winning numbers for draw 1633 are 44, 34, 45, 1, 46, 25 and 21. The supplementary numbers are 9, 14 and 16.

In division two, 20 winners each took home more than $48,000, and 193 division three winners banked close to $6000.

Gaming authorities predicted one in five Australians would snap up a ticket for the chance to secure a slice of — if not all — of the huge jackpot.

Late on Tuesday night, The Lott confirmed the winning ticket had been purchased online by a Victorian customer — with whom they were yet to make contact.

“In addition to finishing the financial year with $70 million, this elusive winner goes down in Victorian history books with a prize only surpassed by the state’s two previous $80 million wins,” he said.

“Imagine going to bed not knowing you’ve just won $70 million? That’s the reality for one Victorian player!

“While the Victorian entry was purchased online, unfortunately, we don’t have their complete contact details, so we are unable to make a mind-blowing phone call to them this evening.

“That is why we are encouraging everyone in Victoria to check their entries because they may be the multi-millionaire we are searching for!

“While we are unable to confirm the win with tonight’s winner, we can guarantee that when they discover the news, it’s sure to be met with a hefty mix of shock and excitement!

Three Oz Lotto division one wins totalling $185 million had been written into the books already this year.

A $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot was won earlier this year by a 15-share syndicate in Queensland, with each taking home a $4.7 million slice.

A western Sydney woman made history with a $100 million win in February, the game’s most lucrative prize ever.

“Who is this? Why are you calling this late?” the winner told The Lott when contacted after the draw.

“What the hell! Can you repeat that? Oh my god! Don’t lie to me!”

Just a few weeks later, $15 million was claimed by a North Queensland man.
