Aussies have less than 36 hours to secure a ticket for the chance to win the second-biggest jackpot offered by any lottery game so far this year, with Oz Lotto offering an outstanding $70 million tomorrow night.

It is anticipated thousands of entries per minute will be generated at lottery outlets and online tomorrow as players rush to grab a last-minute entry before the draw closes at 7.30pm AEST on Tuesday.

The phenomenal $70 million prize marks the second-biggest Oz Lotto offer in 2025 and is the fourth biggest jackpot offered by Oz Lotto in the game’s 31-year history.

The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said Aussies would be eagerly eyeing Oz Lotto’s $70 million prize in the hope of becoming a newly-minted multi-millionaire just in time for Easter.

“If one person takes home the entire $70 million prize, not only will they enjoy a multi-million-dollar boost this Easter, but they’ll immediately be crowned the title of Oz Lotto’s second biggest individual lottery winner ever,” she said.

“There’s something about a $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot that sparks the imagination of Aussies everywhere, igniting the family group chats, office syndicates, and dreamers across the country.

“We anticipate a rush across the country as Aussies vie for the chance to score the second-biggest jackpot of any Australian lottery game this year, and become the next Oz Lotto multi-millionaire.

“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 4,297 tickets were sold in a single minute.”

Ms Hobdell 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 on Tuesday night.

“Our biggest tip is to get in early to avoid missing out on the chance to transform your life, and be sure to register your entry to The Lott Members Club,” she said.

"In February 2025, we were able to contact an Elizabeth Hills woman shortly after the draw to inform her that her life had changed forever with a $100 million Oz Lotto win, thanks to her ticket being registered to an online account.

“We can’t wait to hopefully make some more winning phone calls tomorrow night and transform the lives of more Aussies across the country.”

Tickets into the Oz Lotto draw 1626, drawn Tuesday 15 April 2025 can be purchased at any licensed lottery outlet, online from thelott.com or via The Lott mobile app.
