One lucky Aussie wins entire $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot

One lucky ticket has taken out the entire $70m jackpot in Oz Lotto’s Tuesday night draw.

One-in-five Australians were expected to have a ticket in the fourth biggest jackpot in Oz Lotto’s 31-year history.

It is the second biggest lottery prize in Australia this year.

The winning numbers were 44, 34, 45, 1, 46, 25, 21 and supps 9, 14 and 16.

Ticket sales were set to peak about 6.55pm on Tuesday – about 35 minutes before the draw closed – when more than 4100 tickets were expected to sell in a single minute.

The Lott spokesman Matt Hart said there had been three Oz Lotto division one winning entries totalling $185m so far in 2025, and they were eagerly awaiting their fourth winner.

“We’ll be standing by ready to reach out to any registered division one winner immediately after the draw on Tuesday night, so make sure you register your ticket to The Lott Members Club for the chance to receive that winning phone call,” he said.

“If one person takes home the entire $70m prize, they’ll be crowned the second-biggest Australian lottery winner so far in 2025 and Oz Lotto’s second-biggest individual lottery winner ever.”

Mr Hart said previous winners greeted news of their multimillion-dollar prize with stunned silence, hysterical laughter and tears of joy.

“Who knows how someone might react on Tuesday night if they win the entire $70m jackpot,” he said.

“The last time we had a $70m Oz Lotto draw was in April, and on that occasion it was won by a 15-share Queensland syndicate, each receiving more than $4.7m.”
