Could one Aussie transform their week – and the rest of their life – by becoming the nation’s newest multi-millionaire in Tuesday night’s $50 million Oz Lotto draw?

Up to one-in-five Australian adults are expected to have an entry into Tuesday’s draw, which offers 2019’s biggest Oz Lotto’s jackpot to date.

So far this year, only one entry has snagged the sought-after Oz Lotto division one prize.  This entry was held by a Bathurst couple who won $20 million in January, but didn’t discover their new millionaire status until several days after the draw.

The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said many Aussies would be keeping a keen eye on the balls rolling out of the Oz Lotto barrel on Tuesday night.

“We’ve seen the Oz Lotto jackpot gather momentum during the past six weeks to reach the lofty heights of $50 million,” he said.

“It’s fair to say there’s no shortage of people wanting to be crowned Oz Lotto’s second division one winner for 2019.”

While Oz Lotto is a game of chance and every number has an equal chance of being drawn, the Lott can reveal those numbers that have been drawn the most during the past 13 years.

Currently, the ‘hottest, or most frequently drawn, Oz Lotto numbers are:

Number337251927
Times drawn160155155154154

The numbers considered the ‘coldest’ Oz Lotto numbers because they haven’t appeared so frequently include:

Number1042241830
Times drawn110119120123124

“Only time will tell if the ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ numbers live up to their reputation!” Mr Hart said.

“More than half of the Oz Lotto division one wins in 2018 were from entries where the numbers had been chosen by the ticketholder, including special numbers and birthdates.

“I know many Aussies will be carefully contemplating their numbers for Tuesday’s draw and hoping to seem them make an appearance on the night!

“We’ll be standing by ready to confirm an Oz Lotto division one win to anyone who holds an entry with all those seven winning numbers in a single game.”

Oz Lotto draw 1309 closes at 7:30pm AEST on Tuesday 19 March 2019.

Tickets can be purchased at any licensed lottery outlet, online from thelott.com or via the Lott mobile app.

The Lott’s division one winning tally across all Australian lottery games has now reached 264 so far this financial year.
