A single ticket holder matched all seven winning numbers tonight taking home the entire $8 million jackpot in Oz Lotto draw held on Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
Draw 1589 featured the winning numbers 43, 9, 42, 27, 29, 40, and 25, with supplementary numbers 45, 24, and 35.
According to the division calculations based on numbers generated at the point of sale, the winning entry was sold in South Australia.
Unlike other lotteries in Australia, Oz Lotto jackpots are rarely shared among many winners due to the extremely high odds of 1 in 62 million. In comparison, the chance of winning the top prize is about 1 in 8 million for the Weekday Windfall or Saturday Lotto. There were 21 top prize winners in the weekend's Saturday lotto drive. Powerball has even higher odds at 1 in 134 million.
The total prize pool for this draw was $13.6 million, with $5.6 million in small winnings distributed across lower divisions in addition to the $8 million top prize.
Here’s the detailed breakdown of the prize distribution:
- Division 1: One winner took home the entire $8,000,000.00 jackpot.
