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.
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.
'If one person takes home the entire $70 million 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,' The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said this week.
'Previous big Oz Lotto winners have greeted their multimillion-dollar prizes with stunned silence, hysterical laughter and tears of joy. Who knows how someone might react on Tuesday night if they win the entire $70 million jackpot.'
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 Lotto 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.

Jim Chalmers is wrong. The economy is not turning a corner
When asked this week about whether he was considering 'big tax reform' as part of the Albanese government's second-term agenda, Treasurer Jim Chalmers argued it was difficult to undertake big-ticket items when 'modest' changes to the way large superannuation balances are taxed attract criticism. 'It doesn't augur well for bigger, broader tax reform, when such a modest and methodical change (like the super tax on unrealised gains) is being resisted in some quarters', he said before following up with a dig at this masthead and The Australian. 'We should resist the temptation to think that, because overwhelmingly two media outlets don't like this change, that we should assume that that concern is broadly and deeply felt in the Australian community.'

Labor and Greens coming for the ‘bad people' with large super balances
Menzies Research Centre's Nick Cater says Labor and the Greens believe people who save money for their retirement are 'bad people'. Mr Cater's comments come after Labor plans to increase the tax on super balances over $3 million dollars. Australians should be encouraged to 'look after themselves' in retirement, Mr Cater told Sky News host Rita Panahi. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has walked back Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's comments on superannuation tax. Jim Chalmers has made it clear he would prefer to negotiate with the Greens to get the reforms past the senate.

Kim Kardashian's $148 pierced nipple bra is not a stunt – it's empowerment
Kim Kardashian's Skims clothing brand announced a new product last month, and it's pretty wild. The 'pierced nipple bra' has fabric nipples pierced with a barbell so that, under a close-fitting shirt, it appears the wearer has very cold, prominent – and pierced – nipples. Skims' Instagram explained: 'Our sexiest bra gets even hotter with faux nipple piercing design so you can get the 'Ooo' without the ouch!' Following the marketing success of the original 'nipple bra' in 2023, this version has already garnered awe, cringe, and bewilderment. You've got to acknowledge Kardashian's prowess for seeing a gap in the market, filling it, and then piercing it. At $148, this is an investment bra for those likely to show it off on their socials rather than being an everyday basic. Like a Guerlain perfume, or Chanel sunglasses, it makes a statement about your school of style. What kind of statement does it make? While the average reader of this masthead would likely not wear skin-tight crop tops that bare their (seemingly highly aroused) nipples for a casual day out, it's no longer taboo (if a walk through Fitzroy is any indication) to go braless or expose underboob. In urban Australia – as much as Los Angeles, Berlin or London – porn, music videos, fashion advertisements, and reality TV now coexist in an 'anything goes' era. Women should have every right to modify our bodies and dress as we want, but we don't have the luxury of taking our choices for granted when men are still advocating for MAGA-inspired 'tradwives', the US Vice President J.D. Vance says women should stay in violent marriages to keep their families together and, according to a Harvard Institute poll from last year, 46 per cent of young Republicans believe 'women are too promiscuous these days'. You might scoff at the idea that Kardashian, an influencer and billionaire, is waving a feminist flag with a fake pierced nipple bra. But it fits perfectly with her push for women's autonomy and empowerment through products that occasionally provoke but also appeal to women's aesthetic and desire for comfort. Male designers have long commodified women's bodies with ill-fitting tat, so the argument that she's exploiting her name for profit doesn't wash with me. Yes, her advertisements are heavily airbrushed and her clothing is unaffordable for many of her followers, but Kardashian built her wealth through Skims (worth approximately $US4 billion) and other savvy investments, by serving women first. In March, she told Vogue Business that it matters to her to have shapewear and lingerie that cater to a broad range of body shapes, sizes (Skims go up to the equivalent of Australian sizes 20/22), skin shades and styles. These sculpted bras are not a mere novelty – the nipple bra was embraced by women who'd had a mastectomy, too. Kardashian built this empire all while completing six years of legal studies and advocating for criminal justice reform. At 44, Kardashian refuses to follow the safe marketing route in showcasing Skims lingerie only on 20-something, skinny, white girls. Her models are diverse, and her grey, brown and beige designs are not created predominantly for the male gaze, but for women's comfort. That's radical in itself. So, to the pierced nipples. This bra design is close to my heart (boom, tish!) because in my late teens, nipple piercings were a trend among the cool girls in university. I didn't dare. Then, about six years ago, when the cool girls of Hollywood (Kendall, Miley, Bella Hadid, etc) were all baring their pierced nipples in paparazzi photos, I decided to join the crew.
