Two Queenslanders have won the major Oz Lotto jackpot, amounting to $80 million.

An Ipswich Mum and a Sunshine Coast man each pocketed half of last night’s mega Oz Lotto jackpot, amounting to $80 million.

The winning numbers were 42, 35, 29, 19, 36, 14, 25 with the supplement numbers 13 and 1.

Bronwyn Spencer from The Lott was one of the lucky workers who got to phone them and break the news. He said: “It was an exciting night last night when we got to break the news to two Queensland winners that they’re now $40 million richer,” she told 9News.

“From time to time we do see some wins in the same sort of cluster.”

The mother purchased her ticket online, while the businessman bought his at Newsxpress in Robina on the Gold Coast while he was in town for work.

The newsagent owners, Karen and Graham Randall feel as though they’ve won as well. They commented: “Far out, we are still on Cloud Nine, I just can’t believe it, I hope that man’s celebrating and I hope he hasn’t had any sleep and it’s unbelievable.
“It could have been sold from last Wednesday onwards till yesterday so we even stayed open a little bit later last night just to make sure everybody wasn’t missing out.”

Completely overwhelmed but extremely grateful…

When The Lott broke the news to the winner on the phone, he couldn’t believe it his ears. The winner was completely overwhelmed by the win but extremely grateful. He is planning to buy a new home and car. He also realized his long-held passion for attending the Italian Grand Prix.

Or hysterical laughter…

The Ipswich mother, however, burst into laughter when she heard the news. She supposedly couldn’t stop laughing with glee. Her children were just as excited as her, shouting in the background of the interview. The mum told officials she too will head overseas on holidays, planning to take her family to Canada.
The two wins being in the same jackpot and in the same state is rare. Only one in five million people have the chance of winning.
