A staggering $20 million is up for grabs for the Tuesday night lottery draw.
The division one prize for draw 1439 is set to be announced at 8.30pm AEST on Tuesday.
A lucky 12 people have so far nabbed division one prizes this year to the tune of $167 million all together.
Of those winners, four were from NSW, four were from Victoria, three were from Western Australia and one was from the Northern Territory.
This is the fourth time a $20 million Oz Lotto jackpot has been offered to players in 2021.
The last time someone scored $20 million in Oz Lotto was on July 6.
A Victorian entrant won the prize but didn’t claim the money straight away.
It took three weeks for the family in Golden Square, Bendigo, regional Victoria, to realise they’d won a life-changing $20 million.
They revealed to The Lott that they had completely forgotten that they had entered.
“We were cleaning the house the other day when we came across some old tickets which we’d forgotten about,” the mum said.
“Some had been in there for so long, so I decided to take them all down to the news agency to check them.
“I scanned them on the self-checker, and it said that I had to go to the counter. I thought there was just some problem with the ticket because it was oldish.
“But then I remembered there was a missing Oz Lotto winner from Golden Square, so I started to think maybe we had that winning ticket.
“I didn’t want to get my hopes up, so we checked again ourselves and that’s when we realised we were the winners.”
The mum explained that the family had double and triple checked the ticket because they couldn’t believe their luck.
“We have felt so nervous and sick ever since we checked the ticket,” she said.
“We just can’t believe we’re multi-millionaires now.
“This feels like a dream come true. It’s so overwhelming for us all.
“My stomach is full of butterflies, and I feel all jittery.
“When will we start to feel normal? Or is it always going to be hard to believe we’re multi-millionaires?
“This feels like the best day of our lives. I am not sure if we’re ever going to come down from this.”
To avoid a three-week wait to discover you’re a multi-millionaire, The Lott’s Ally Ramsamy had a word of advice.
“Our best tip for anyone interested in scoring that prize is to make sure you get in early and register your entry to a player card or online account, so we can reach out if you win division one,” she said.
“It’s not a call you’d want to miss.”
