Lotto: One ticketholder bags entire $20 million OzLotto jackpot

One lucky Lotto player has kicked off the start of the new financial year $20 million richer.

The fortunate ticketholder was the only player to bank the massive division one prize after matching seven winning numbers in Tuesday’s OzLotto draw.

Nine punters will be celebrating division two wins worth a cool $43,182.25.

More than $4,000 is set to be snapped up by 113 division three winners from across the nation.

The winning numbers for draw #1637 were 43, 32, 16, 28, 26, 38 and 2. The supplementary numbers were 33, 40 and 23.

The monster win comes after a new report by The Lott uncovered the spending habits, emotional reactions and life changes of winners in 2024, when 441 entries across all lottery games shared in more than $1.56 billion in division one prizemoney.

The Annual Winners Report, based on surveys of last year’s winners, found that most recipients described their win as “life-changing,” with many saying they used the money to relieve financial stress, support family and friends, and make smart investments.

“I felt a great sigh of relief that so much pressure to provide for my family had been lifted,” one winner said.

“Our future felt far more secure.”

One winner revealed they had a hair transplant in Istanbul to boost their self-confidence.

Many winners found out about their good fortune the traditional way, with 25 per cent receiving a phone call from The Lott and another 24 per cent checking their ticket online.

One recipient said they “yelled out, ‘You beauty!’ and scared the dog,” while another admitted they “spent most of the night checking my numbers.”
