A lucky Tasmanian man has just become the state’s biggest-ever lottery winner after scoring the entire $70 million Oz Lotto jackpot in the draw held on Tuesday, June 3, 2025. The winning entry was purchased online via Oz Lotteries and was the only Division 1 winning ticket nationwide.
According to lottery officials, the man didn’t immediately realize he had won due to incomplete contact details on his online profile. He eventually discovered the news after checking his account—and described the moment as completely surreal. “I had to keep refreshing the screen to believe it,” he said. “I didn’t sleep a minute last night.”
The winner has already decided to retire and plans to purchase a dream home with his partner, support his family, and enjoy a stress-free future. “This means everything to us,” he shared. “We’ve had a tough time financially, and now all of that changes.”
The winning numbers for the draw were: 44, 34, 45, 1, 46, 25, 21 with supplementary numbers 9, 14, and 16.
This moment is not only historic for Tasmania but also a reminder of how life-changing a single entry can be. It also highlights the convenience of online entries — just one click away from transforming your life.
