Hunt for Oz Lotto $70m winner: Incomplete details mean identity of ticket-holder still a mystery
They have woken up $70m richer, but might not even know it yet. The hunt is on for Tuesday night's Oz Lotto winner after they scooped the entire division one prize pool. Beating out an estimated one in five Aussies who were expected to buy a ticket. While the lucky player from Victoria purchased their ticket online, The Lott says their details were incomplete so they haven't been able to make contact. On Wednesday morning, a spokesperson confirmed the winner still hadn't been in touch. They purchased the 18-game entry for $26 and lottery officials are urging everyone to check their tickets. The win is history-making — the second biggest lottery win ever in Victoria. '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,' The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said. In division two, 20 winners each took home more than $48,000, and 193 division three winners banked close to $6000. 'In addition to seeing the massive $70 million prize land in their bank account, this player also shares the crown of the second-biggest individual Oz Lotto winner in the game's 31-year history.' There have already been three Oz Lotto division one wins totalling $185 million this year. A $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot was won 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. The winning numbers for Tuesday's draw 1633 are 44, 34, 45, 1, 46, 25 and 21. The supplementary numbers are 9, 14 and 16.

Lottery officials searching for one lucky Victorian resident who won Oz Lotto $70m jackpot after buying ticket online
Victorian residents who purchased a ticket in the Oz Lotto $70 million draw are being urged to check their ticket after just one lucky person won the jackpot. The mystery winner held the only division one winning entry into draw number 1633 on Tuesday night, instantly becoming Australia's newest millionaire. The player based in Victoria had purchased an 18-game entry online for about $26. The winning numbers were 44, 34, 45, 1, 46, 25 and 21. The supplementary numbers were 9, 14 and 16. However, The Lott officials have been unable to contact them on Tuesday night. Spokesman Matt Hart urged Victorians to check their tickets for the potential life-changing news, with one in five Australians buying a ticket into the draw. '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," he said. '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 we can guarantee that when they discover the news, it's sure to be met with a hefty mix of shock and excitement." The winner, once their ticket is confirmed, will go into the history books given it is the second-largest lottery win in the state. Two other Victorians had separately won $80 million each in other lotteries. Most Lotto winners come forward between one and seven days after the draw.

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.
