FOUR lucky Aussies have become instant multimillionaires after claiming a chunk in the record $100m Oz Lotto jackpot. The four golden-ticket holders were spread across Victoria, Queensland and NSW and will pocket a ritzy $27.9m each.
The record lottery crashed websites across the country as people logged on to check their numbers.
The winning numbers are 29, 43, 8, 7, 15, 2, 13. The supps are 21 and 20.
Tatts Group public relations manager Elissa Lewis said winners had not yet been notified.
“It was a new Australian record we have set tonight,” Ms Lewis said.
“We don’t know a lot of detail yet because there are so many entries but we urge anyone who thinks they have a Division One ticket to call.”
A further 64 lucky Aussies held the winning ticket for Division Two
Almost 3.5 million Aussies will share in the prize pool which rocketed from $100m to almost $112m after people flocked to buy tickets in the biggest lottery in Australian history.
The $112m jackpot beats the 2009 record when a guaranteed jackpot of $90 million surged to just over $106m.
Roughly one in every two Australian adults — about 7.5 million people — were expected to buy a ticket in tonight’s draw.
Next weeks draw will fall back to $2 million.
People who believed they had won the jackpot should call 1300 556 646.
