Australia’s next merry band of millionaires could be crowned tomorrow night once the winning numbers are drawn in Saturday Lotto’s $20 Million Superdraw.

So far in 2018, Saturday Lotto has created 75 millionaires across Australia – a rate of five a week!

With the $20 Million Superdraw currently the biggest Australian lottery prize on offer, the Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said up to one-in-five Australian adults were expected to have an entry in the draw.

“While the $20 million prize pool is shared by the division one winners, each of the five Superdraws in 2018 have created millionaires… and in some cases multi-millionaires,” he said.

“We hope to be able to deliver the dream-come-true news to our next newly-minted millionaires after this weekend’s draw.

“Imagine if you become an overnight millionaire from the Saturday Lotto $20 Million Superdraw! Do you think you’d turn up to work on Monday or would your plans for the rest of the year – and the rest of your life – change dramatically?”

Mr Hart said recent Saturday Lotto division one winners planned to use their prize in many surprising ways.

“Many winners tell us they can’t wait to share their prize with those people at the very top of their Lotto List, such as their family and friends. These winners lavish their loved ones with everything from new cars and once-in-a-lifetime holidays, to special mortgage repayments.

“It’s not just friends and family who make it onto Lotto Lists. Recently one Sydney winner told us he planned to use his division one win to make a sizeable donation to the drought relief appeal. He said when you’re blessed with something like a Lotto win, you should pass it on.”

Mr Hart said wannabe Lotto millionaires should grab their entry well ahead of the Superdraw’s draw close tomorrow evening as outlets are expected to be busy.

“You do need an entry into the draw for a chance to win a slice of the $20 million prize.  And make sure you grab a registered entry – that way we can call you should you become a Lotto millionaire.”

Tickets in the Lott’s $20 Million Lotto Superdraw are on sale now and can be purchased until 7:30pm AEST on Saturday 1 September 2018 from any official lottery outlet, online from thelott.com, or via thelott app.
