Wednesday 9 May, 2012. 2.00pm - Three winners across three states shared last night’s mammoth $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot, winning more than $24.9 million each. The winning tickets were sold in western Sydney, an Adelaide suburb and the region south-west of Melbourne.

Tatts spokesperson Zoe Knobel confirmed that the winning ticket sold in Victoria is unregistered.

“The $24.9 million winning Oz Lotto ticket sold in the area south-west of Melbourne is not registered to a Tatts Card, so we have no contact details for the winner. It is possible that the winner may not be aware of
their good fortune just yet,” Ms Knobel said.

“We strongly encourage all Oz Lotto players who purchased their ticket in that region to check their entries as soon as possible,” Ms Knobel added.

The Victorian mystery winner was one of three division one winners nationally in Oz Lotto draw 951, along with one winner who purchased their ticket in western Sydney and one in the Adelaide suburbs.

Each winner picked up $24,952,195.76 million overnight. The total division one prize pool grew from $70 million to $74.8 million as a result of strong participation in the draw.

Along with the huge jackpot prize more than 2.2 million prizes were won across Australia in divisions two to seven, sharing in a total prize pool of $119.6 million.

The winning numbers in Oz Lotto’s $70 million draw (951) were 17, 8, 28, 34, 41, 42 and 6. Supplementary numbers were 4 and 19.

Oz Lotto will offer a $2 million division one prize in next week’s draw.

Lotto players still have an opportunity to win big this week with a $20 million Powerball jackpot this Thursday (10 May) and a $20 million Superdraw this Saturday (12 May).

A grandmother from Victoria felt weak at the knees when she received a phone call from Tatts informing her she’d won a first division prize of $3.3 million in Saturday’s $20 million TattsLotto Superdraw.

Tuesday 15 May - A grandmother from Victoria felt weak at the knees when she received a phone call from Tatts informing her she’d won a first division prize of $3.3 million in Saturday’s $20 million TattsLotto Superdraw.

The first-time winner has been playing TattsLotto with QuickPick entries for over 10 years, and could hardly express how she felt upon hearing the news.

“I’m too excited!” she exclaimed.

“Now I can go on holiday with my family and even buy my own unit.

“This money means I’ll be able to help my children and give some presents to my grandchildren.”

The ecstatic winner purchased her ticket from 99 Spencer Street Lotto at Southern Cross Station in Melbourne.

Store owner Robert Tang was equally excited to hear one of his customers had won.

“It’s funny that we had a first division winner on the weekend, as we only reopened alter renovations on Monday!” he exclaimed.

Saturday’s winner was the second in eight-months for the outlet, after another division one winning ticket was sold by the outlet last year.

“Our last division one winner was in October 2011 when one of our customers scored $530,370 in TattsLotto, and that was the very week we closed for renovations.

“Now that we’re open again all our customers are saying ‘Welcome back, please sell me a winning ticket’, and we say that we hope we will!”

There were six division one winners in TattsLotto Superdraw number 3215 who shared in a division one prize pool of $20 million. Two were in Victoria, two in Western Australia and two in South Australia.

The winning numbers in TattsLotto on Saturday 12 May were 19, 14, 1, 2, 45 and 16 with supplementary numbers 23 and 30.

“The first thing I thought of was how I could help my family. I want to make sure they’re looked after.

“I suppose I can live more comfortably now too.”

Tatts spokesperson Zoe Knobel it was great that the mystery winner has come forward and was so gracious in accepting the life-changing Super 7’s Oz Lotto division one dividend prize.

“The winner from Geelong West is truly deserving of such a wonderful prize and we’re very pleased we have spoken with him about his winning experience.

“As the ticket was not registered to a Tatts Card, we had no way of knowing who the winner was, or contacting them to tell them the amazing news,” she said.
