A South Australian player won the entire $50 million Oz Lotto jackpot last night, but the identity of the new multi-millionaire remains a complete mystery.
The South Australian entry was the only winning Division 1 entry nationally in the Oz Lotto draw 1608 on Tuesday evening.
Lott’s spokesman Matt Hart said he was waiting for the country’s newest multi-millionaire to get in touch and start the process of claiming the prize.
“Tonight’s win is South Australia’s second biggest win of 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 scooped a $150 million Powerball prize.
“Tonight, a mystery player has joined the club of multi-millionaires by winning $50 million, but they may not know it yet.”
He reminded players of the importance of registering their tickets for The Lott Members Club so they can be contacted directly with the good news of a big win.
‘Had the elusive player registered his ticket, officials at The Lott would have contacted them this evening 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 additional 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 1 winning total has reached 418 people so far in 2024.
In the financial year 2024, there were 292 Division 1 winning Saturday Lotto tickets worth a total of more than $436 million, making 158 millionaires across the country.
A Sydney nurse who won $107 million after picking a Powerball jackpot in 2019 has revealed how winners should spend their winnings.
“If it’s possible and you can tolerate it, wake up the next morning and go to work. It gives you normalcy and lets the news sink in slowly,” she said in 2021.
‘It takes two weeks for the prize money to arrive. I used those two weeks to hire a financial advisor who I really trusted.’
She added that winners should be careful who they tell.
“Only a handful of people know,” she said of her win.
