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.

Push to get 'damn fine' Australian products into Europe
Australia stands firm in free trade negotiations with the European Union in the new environment of Donald Trump's tariffs. Trade Minister Don Farrell walked away from the bloc's previous offer following rounds of negotiations because it failed to give Australian agricultural products greater market access, which remains the sticking point. Senator Farrell met face-to-face with the EU's trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic for the first time on Wednesday, on the sidelines of an OECD meeting in Paris. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said there was bipartisan support for free and fair trade. "We will seek a deal that is good enough for Australia," he told reporters on Thursday. "If it benefits us, we'll be in it. If it doesn't, we'll continue to not sign up to something that is not in our national interest." Mr Albanese said Australia's free trade agreement with the UK had led to an increase in meat exports, in addition to wine. "Why is that the case? Because our products are damn fine and they are in demand right around the world," he said. Talks for a deal with the EU began in 2018, and that involves consulting all 27 member states before an agreement can be sealed. There are more than 450 million consumers in Europe. Countries across the world seek to diversity trade in the face of the US president's tariffs, with levies on steel and aluminium since doubling to 50 per cent. Australian products are subject to a 10 per cent baseline tariff. The trade minister said an agreement with the bloc would build resilience in a rapidly changing global environment. "Both Australia and the EU recognise that now is the time to strengthen our economic partnership, and we're working through the remaining issues to try and finalise the deal," he said.
