The hunt to find Australia’s newest multi-millionaire is on after Tuesday night’s $70million Oz Lotto draw went off for the first time in seven weeks.

Millions of Aussies are scrambling to find their tickets in the hope of a massive pre-Easter windfall. 

The eye-watering jackpot was the second biggest this year and fourth highest prize pool in Oz Lotto’s 31-year history.

The numbers for draw 1626 were 14, 2, 13, 29, 41, 23 and 8. The supplementary numbers were 43, 4 and 40.

One lucky entry has scooped the entire jackpot. 

There had been no division one winners for sixth consecutive weeks. 

Another 41 winners from Tuesday night draw will each take home a second division prize of $24,374.50 while 289 division three winners all pocketed $4,086.70.

One in five Aussie adults were expected to buy a ticket for Tuesday’s draw, which has already topped every major jackpot in 2024.

Thousands of entries per minute have been generated at lottery outlets and online.

No draw last year had a jackpot higher than $50million.

Oz Lotto’s last division one winner was a Mackay man who took home the entire $15million jackpot on February 25. 

The Northern Queenslander did not realise he had won until he received a call from The Lott officials.

‘Holy f***ing s***,’ he said.

‘I have to call my parents and partner immediately. My mum is really into lotteries, she won’t believe it.’

An Elizabeth Hills woman from south-west Sydney snared the entire $100million jackpot weeks earlier.
