Two Aussies Take Home $30M Oz Lotto Jackpot

In a thrilling night for lottery players across the country, two lucky Aussies have struck it rich, taking home the massive $30 million jackpot in Oz Lotto Draw 1594, held on Tuesday, 3 September 2024.

According to preliminary division calculations based on numbers generated at points of sale, the two jackpot-winning entries were sold in NSW and Victoria. Each winner walks away with a life-changing $15 million cash prize tonight.

The winning numbers for the draw were [43], [35], [9], [38], [32], [8], [3], with supplementary numbers [33], [22], and [46].

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. Powerball has even higher odds at 1 in 134 million.

The total prize pool for the draw reached an impressive $42,277,635.77, with winners across all divisions celebrating their good fortune.
