The Oz Lotto draw has ballooned even further after no division one winners were announced in Tuesday night’s draw.

The winning numbers for Oz Lotto Draw 1614 - with massive jackpot of $50 million – have been revealed.

But not one Aussie who bought a ticket will claim the division one prize due to not having any of the winning numbers.

The winning numbers (drawn in numerical order) are 24, 44, 18, 22, 41, 8 and 37, with supplementary numbers 26, 39 and 1.

Because there were no division one winners, next week’s draw will now have $70m up for grabs.

“While the year is young, this $70 million draw is the biggest prize we’ve seen from any Australian lottery game in 2025,” The Lott spokesman Matt Hart said.

“It is biggest prize offered by Oz Lotto in over a year and the fourth-biggest jackpot offered by Oz Lotto in the game’s 31-year history.”

Up to one-in-five Australian adults are expected to have an entry into the draw.

Tuesday night’s massive prize skyrocketed to $50m after thousands of Australians across the country flocked to newsagents, buying tickets in the hopes of scoring the massive prize.

Last year, $50 million was the highest level the Oz Lotto jackpot reached and it was won twice.

Despite no-one holding the winning numbers for division one, there were 856,606 wins in division two to seven that collected more than $18.9 million.

This includes six division two winners who each pocketed $115,756.90.

There were 17 Oz Lotto division one winners across Australia that same year – who collectively won more than $295 million.

“Last year, New South Wales enjoyed the most Oz Lotto division one wins, taking home nine of the 17,” Mr Hart said.

Mr Hart explained that while the numbers are randomly selected, some have been drawn with more frequency than others.

Frequently-drawn numbers include 47, 21, 28 and 33, while the least-frequent numbers include 34, 26, 45 and 43.

Elsewhere, there were three division one wins each in South Australia and Queensland, and two in Victoria.

In December, a South Australian man won $50 million with an unregistered Oz Lotto ticket.

The man said “this does absolutely everything for me”.

“I’ll treat myself and help my family,” he said.

“I don’t think I’ll work again. I think my workdays are done.”
