Excitement is in the air as Aussies now have just hours left to secure a ticket into tonight’s potentially life-changing $70 million Oz Lotto draw.

It’s the first time this year the jackpot has soared so high, giving Aussie hopefuls the chance to become the country’s first big millionaire of 2025.

The phenomenal prize is also the fourth biggest jackpot offered by Oz Lotto in the game’s 31-year history.

The Lott spokesperson Anna Hobdell said up to one in five Australian adults were expected to grab a ticket.

“If one person takes home the entire $70 million prize, they’ll immediately be crowned the title of Oz Lotto’s biggest individual lottery winner ever,” she said.

“We anticipate a rush across the country as Aussies vie for the chance to score the biggest jackpot of any Australian lottery game this year and become 2025’s first Oz Lotto multi-millionaire.

“This is the time when office chatter turns into work syndicates, and everyone becomes a dreamer, plotting how they’d spend a share of the $70 million Oz Lotto prize.

“The last time we saw a $70 million Oz lotto draw was in December 2023 when the peak of sales was at 6.35pm on the day of the draw when more than 4,113 tickets were sold in a single minute.”

Ms Hobdell urged those taking part to register their ticket.

“By registering your in-store or online ticket to The Lott Members Club, we can contact you straight after the draw should you win big on Tuesday night,” she said.

“Be sure to take your phone off silent and pick up immediately if you see your phone light up with an incoming call on Tuesday night. It could be lottery officials calling with life-changing news!
