Have you got your ticket? Australia’s second largest ever Lotto to be drawn tonight with $90million up for grabs
- Second largest Lotto ever in Australia
- A $90 million drawing will take place Tuesday evening
Up to a third of Australians are expected to have tickets for the $90 million Oz Lotto draw on Boxing Day, the second biggest prize in gaming history.
The jackpot was created after the last nine lotto draws had gone without a winner of the first division.
Lott spokesman Matt Hart said millions of Aussies were expected to get involved in the draw with the life-changing amount of money at stake.
“Up to a third of Australian adults are expected to have a ticket in hand before the draw closes tonight,” he said.
“It seems many are dreaming of a festive season they will never forget and all the possibilities that a prize of this magnitude could create in 2024 and beyond.”

One lucky Australian could start the new year with $90 million.
Newsagents are expecting an influx of potential winners on Boxing Day ahead of the Oz Lotto jackpot.
Tonight's Oz Lotto draw is the second biggest offering in 30 years.
One in three Australian adults already have a ticket. The odds of winning the top prize are one in 62 million.
Mr Hart said anyone keen to take a chance on the jackpot should arrive early to avoid the late rush.
“Last week's draw was busy, with the peak of sales at 6.35pm on the day of the draw when 4,113 tickets were sold in one minute,” he said.
'We expect our stores to be busy as people grab their entries during the Boxing Day sale, and get busy online at thelott.com in the lead up to the draw's close at 7.30pm.
“My best advice to Aussies vying for a chance to win this massive multi-million dollar prize is to get there early and don't leave it until the last minute.
'I also recommend that you register your ticket on a player card or online account. I will contact a registered Division 1 winner immediately after the draw tonight.”
This year there have been 13 First Division winners who have taken home $233 million in prize money.
