South Australian Player Struck Gold with $20 Million Oz Lotto Jackpot

One lucky Oz Lotteries player  struck gold, taking home a staggering $20,000,123.80 in the Oz Lotto draw 1637 on Tuesday July 1, 2025.

The winning ticket matched all seven winning numbers, 43, 32, 16, 28, 26, 38, and 2, plus  supplementary numbers  33, 40, and 23, securing not just Division 1 but also wins across Divisions 5, 6, and 7.

Purchased online through Oz Lotteries, the ticket delivered the player the sole Division 1 prize nationally for that draw.

When Oz Lotteries’ Cassie phoned the unsuspecting winner the following morning, they were completely surprised by the news .

“I thought maybe you were calling to say I’d run out of money in my account!” they laughed.

Instead, they were advised  they had just become $20 million richer.

From disbelief to delight

Like many jackpot winners, disbelief  was the first reaction.

“That’s ridiculous… this can’t be real,” said the South Australian winner , rugged up in their country town as the news sank in.

Even through the disbelief, their thoughts quickly turned to family and community.

“Trying to get into the housing market nowadays is almost impossible. If we were in a position to help family out there, we would. And some of the prize could go towards our little community progress association too.”

Twice the luck, 40 years apart

This wasn’t the first time fortune smiled on this player. Around 40 years ago, they also took home a Division 2 prize, making this incredible Division 1 jackpot their second taste of Oz Lotto glory albeit even more life changing this time round.
