Aussies looking for an especially auspicious start to 2024 will be vying for the chance to become a millionaire in this weekend’s Saturday Lotto $30 Million Megadraw.

Up to a third of Australian adults are expected to have their hands on a ticket into the annual draw that has a reputation for creating more millionaires in a single night than any other draw.

On Saturday 30 December 2023, the day of the draw, more than 3,000 Lotto tickets a minute are expected to be sold in-store and online at peak times.

The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said winning a share of the $30 million jackpot would certainly put a spring in your step heading into 2024.

“If previous years’ Megadraws are anything to go by, we could be welcoming a batch of newly minted millionaires across Australia this weekend,” he said.

“I’m sure it would help kickstart a very happy 2024 and beyond for any division one winners.

“You’d really have something to celebrate this New Year’s Eve with a division one prize in your pocket.

“Last year’s New Year’s Eve Megadraw saw 12 division one winning entries share the jackpot, and ten new millionaires made.

“Imagine what incredible experiences 2024 could hold for you and your loved ones if you won a share of $30 million! I’ll be calling any registered division one winners on Sunday – certainly one way to finish 2023 on a high.”

While Lotto is a game of chance and every number has an equal chance of being drawn, The Lott can reveal the most frequently and least frequently drawn Lotto numbers during the past 38 years.

The most frequently drawn, or ‘hot’, numbers during this time were 1, 11, 8 and 7.

Meanwhile, the least frequently drawn, or ‘cold’ numbers were 44, 14, 30 and 27.

Before the new year starts, Mr Hart said a select group of Aussies could join the illustrious list of this year’s lottery winners whose lives were transformed forever.

“Will Lotto’s ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ numbers live up to their reputation this weekend, and where in Australia will those division one wins land? Only time will tell,” he said.

“For anyone buying an entry, I recommend that you get in early and register your entry to a player card or online account. This means your prize is secure and we can call you with the amazing news should you be holding a division one winning entry.”

Saturday Lotto’s $30 Million Megadraw, draw 4429, will take place on Saturday 30 December 2023.
