$30m Oz Lotto jackpot up for grabs

So far Oz Lotto draw 1521 is the biggest prize offered by the game this year, along with this week’s Powerball draw offering an equal amount of the winnings.

“This week, Aussies have the chance to win $30 million twice with both Oz Lotto on Tuesday night and Powerball on Thursday night offering this giant prize,” The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said.

Mr Hart said if someone wins the $30 million jackpot this week, it would be the sixth division one win in 2023.

“As we head into the cooler months, your plans for the future could be just heating up with an Oz Lotto prize of this magnitude,” he said.

“We’ve had a steady stream of Oz Lotto division one wins so far this year, which is why we haven’t seen the jackpot climb too high… until now.

“This $30 million prize is the highest Oz Lotto has reached so far in 2023.

“Will we have another division one winner this week or will the Oz Lotto jackpot soar higher for next week’s draw? Only time will tell.”

Last year, the most frequently drawn numbers were: 9, 37, 27, 5 and 24, according to the Oz Lotto.

While the least frequently drawn numbers were: 26, 15, 43, 35 and 34.

According to The Lott, the five Oz Lotto division one winning entries this year have all been QuickPicks – a lottery terminal selected the numbers for the player.

The popular lotto option is different from a marked entry, where people choose the numbers on their tickets.

How it works

Anyone keen to play tonight’s Oz Lotto have to choose seven of their favourite numbers and wait for the yellow balls to drop from a barrel.

The game has 47 balls numbered one to 47, and the seven winning numbers are randomly selected.

There are seven prize divisions, but to win division one, the player must have all seven numbers match with the seven winning numbers for the draw.

According to The Lott, five division one wins have scored over $63 million in division one prize money this year, with two of the five division one winning entries in Victoria and one each in South Australia, NSW and Tasmania.

To participate, you can grab a ticket either in-store at a licensed lottery outlet, or online at thelott.com or via The Lott app.

Registered division one winners will be contacted after tonight’s draw.

Tickets can be checked online or at any licensed lottery outlet. Your ticket can also be scanned on The Lott app.

The Oz Lotto draw closes at 7.30pm (AEST) tonight.
