A South Australian player won the entire $50million Oz Lotto jackpot last night, but the identity of the new multi-millionaire remains a complete mystery.
The South Australian entry was the only division one winning entry nationally in Oz Lotto draw 1608 on Tuesday night.
The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said he was waiting for the country’s newest multi-millionaire to make contact and start the prize claim process.
‘Tonight’s win is the second-biggest win to land in South Australia in 2024 and caps off a winning year for the state,’ he said.
‘In May this year, the state welcomed Australia’s biggest individual lottery winner, an Adelaide man who pocketed a $150million Powerball prize.
‘Tonight, a mystery player joined the multi-millionaire club by winning $50million, but they possibly don’t know it yet.’
He reminded players of the importance of registering their tickets to The Lott Members Club, so they can be contacted directly with the good news of a big win.
‘If the elusive player had registered their ticket, officials from The Lott would have reached out to them tonight to confirm the life-changing news.’

The winning numbers for Tuesday’s draw were 1,29,20,23,34,46 and 39, with 42,43 and 24 being the supplementary numbers.
Ten Aussies won $62,689.10 each after splitting the division two pool while 139 division three winners walked away with $5330.
The Lott’s division one winning tally has now reached 418 people so far in 2024.
In the 2024 financial year there were 292 division one winning Saturday Lotto tickets totalling more than $436million, which created 158 millionaires across the country.
A Sydney nurse who won $107million after picking a Powerball jackpot in 2019 revealed how winners should spend their winnings.
‘If it’s possible and you can stand it, wake up the next morning and go to work. It gives you normality, and it allows the news to slowly sink in,’ she said in 2021.
‘It takes two weeks for the prize money to come through. I used those two weeks to engage a financial adviser who I really trusted.’
She added winners need to be careful about who they tell.
‘Only a handful of people know,’ she said of her win.
