With less than 36 hours until Oz Lotto’s extraordinary $100 million draw, Australians are rushing to grab their entries while dreaming about what it would be like to receive that unforgettable winning phone call.
This $100 million prize is the largest Oz Lotto jackpot offered in over a decade and the biggest prize offered by any Australian lottery game so far this year.
The last time Oz Lotto soared to $100 million was in 2012 when the prize was split among four division one winning entries.
If a single person takes home the entire jackpot tomorrow night, they’ll instantly be crowned Oz Lotto’s biggest-ever individual winner.
With up to a third of Australian adults expected to have a ticket before sales close at 7:30 pm AEST on Tuesday, The Lott spokesperson Khat McIntyre said the possibility of receiving that life-changing call has Aussies on the edge of their seats.
“The last time Oz Lotto offered a jackpot of this magnitude was over a decade ago in November 2012, so this is an offer you won’t want to miss,” she said.
“It’s hard to put into words what it’s like to tell someone they’ve won a multi-million dollar prize. Reactions we often hear when breaking the life-changing news include screams of excitement, cries of joy or bursts of laughter.
“Can you imagine answering the phone on Tuesday night to discover you had won $100 million? It's a call you would remember for the rest of your life.
“For many, the reality of winning division one doesn’t sink in straight away. Some winners check their ticket multiple times, others wake up in the middle of the night thinking it was all a dream. Then comes the exciting part which is deciding how to spend it.
“A $100 million prize could mean early retirement, a new home, jetting off on a round-the-world adventure, or helping family and friends in ways you never imagined.”
For the chance to experience a division one winning phone call on Tuesday night, Ms McIntyre said she recommended players register their entry to a player card or online account.
“The team at The Lott headquarters and I will be on the edge of our seats, ready to reach out to any registered division one winners on Tuesday night. However, we can only reveal the life-changing news if the player has registered their ticket and kept their contact details up to date,” she said.
“If you see your phone light up on Tuesday night, be sure to pick up immediately because it could be us calling with some mind-altering division one news!”
