If someone clinches the $70 million prize, they'll become an instant millionaire in time for Easter and Oz Lotto's second biggest individual lottery winner.

Oz Lotto says thousands of entries per minute have been generated at lottery outlets and online.
"The last time we saw a $70 million Oz Lotto draw was in January 2025 when the peak of sales was at 12.06pm on the day of the draw when 4297 tickets were sold in a single minute," said The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell.

She encouraged all players to register their tickets to The Lott Members Club to avoid missing out on a life-changing call should they win division one tonight.
In February, officials from The Lott contacted a woman from Elizabeth Hills in Western Sydney shortly after the draw to tell her she'd won the $100 million Oz Lotto prize, thanks to her ticket being registered to an online account.
