Oz Lotteries Biggest Winners

There are a lot of lottery lovers that will flock to news agents and other lottery agents who are known to have sold a lot of winning tickets. The reasoning behind this being that they’re presumed to be “lucky“. I reckon the same can be said of the popular online lottery agents. I wrote about this in a post on another of my sites called, Luckiest Online Lottery Agent. At the time the honour of being the luckiest online lottery agent went to theLotter.com.

Like I said that was almost a year ago and it’s just come to my attention that there well may be another contender for that auspicious title. I’m referring to Oz Lotteries who was the very first online lottery site that I joined.

Lets have a look at some of Oz Lotteries biggest winners.

And Oz Lotteries Biggest Winners Are….

Oz Lotteries Biggest Winners 1Our biggest of the Oz Lotteries Biggest Winners originated back in February of 2016 a bloke from from a small coastal town in northern New South Wales was avoiding daily calls for almost two weeks because he thought “it was usually someone trying to get money” out of him.

Little did he know that he was the sole division 1 winner to the tune of $30 million in the OZ Lotto draw. All those calls that he was ignoring were from lottery officials trying to tell him that he had won thirty million bucks!

It wasn’t until he logged on to his online account and saw “a lot of zeroes” in his account that the pin finally dropped. He had finally won the big one. But he wasn’t sure exactly how much he had won.

“I couldn’t work out if I’d won $3 million or $30 million… I wrote the number down and put commas in between all those zeroes!”

This lucky bloke has been playing lotto for some 30 years and until finally cracking the $30 million big ones his biggest win was around the $1000 mark. Shit, these days I’d be happy with a $1000 win :tongue:

Just for interest sake, the winning numbers from Oz Lotto draw 1124 on Tuesday the 2nd of February were 5, 7, 9, 44, 22, 2 and 19, plus supplementary numbers 36 and 28.




Online Winner Story

Oz Lotteries Biggest Winners3Next in our Oz Lotteries Biggest Winners is a man in his 60’s living in Little Bay in Sydney’s south-east.

He was one of 15 division one winners in the Saturday Lotto Superdraw on the 30th July 2016. His share was a cool $1.3 million of that particular weekends $30 million Superdraw.

“I couldn’t believe it…” he said, as he re-read the email over and over. Actually, that’s one of the reason I love Oz Lotteries, the fact that I get email notifications of how my tickets fared in any particular lottery draw. No more having to worry about losing tickets or worrying about not checking my tickets properly and throwing away a winning ticket.

Believing that the email was some sort of hoax or spam email it wasn’t until the phone call from the Oz Lotteries customer support congratulating him that it finally sunk in.

It took 5 years of playing with Oz Lotteries before he finally got his first big win.




Online Powerball Winner

Oz Lotteries Biggest Winners2Our next big Oz Lotteries winner was a woman from West Footscray, a Melbourne suburb. This lucky lady purchased he her $25 million Powerball ticket using the Oz Lotteries app. On a side note, just about all my Oz Lotteries ticket are purchased via their app. It just makes buying lottery tickets online so easy.

She first joined Oz Lotteries in 2012 and usually only played 10 game tickets. When setting the ticket up on her app she accidentally selected the default 18 game ticket. She decided to go with the extra 8 games. Lucky she did too because it was the 17th game that won her first division in that particular Powerball.

I copied the following from the Oz lotteries site.

“All major Division 1 and 2 prize winners are contacted personally by the Oz Lotteries customer support team to congratulate them on becoming a major lotto winner. Over the next 3 weeks, the winner’s prize will be visible and secure in her Oz Lotteries online account while she undergoes an official identification process and the bank transfer is completed. We will advise her to speak to her bank manager and/or financial advisor to let them know her bank account will be receiving a very large deposit!”

It’s not surprising that Oz Lotteries continues to be the online lotto store of choice for over 1 million Australians. Who knows, maybe your luck will change if you decide to get you lottery tickets online with Oz Lotteries.

What Happens To Lottery Millionaires

Every year thousands of people become millionaires all thanks to the world lotteries. Sure, I pulled that number out of the air but I’m sure with the amount of world lotteries out there it wouldn’t be too far off the mark.

The problem with a lot of these newly hatched millionaires is they just don’t know how to hold on their newly acquired riches. I found one particular article that highlights 17 cases of what happens to lottery Millionaires.

What Happens To Lottery Millionaires? 5 Lottery Millionaires that lost their millions.

  1. Instant millions brings unhappiness to Lara and Roger Griffiths who won $2.76 million in 2005. Six years later after buying a What Happens To Lottery Millionairesmillion dollar house, a porche and countless arguments they are now penniless. It didn’t help when they lost their house in a freak fire and their marriage ended because Lara believed Roger was cheating on her.
  2. Man blows $17.2 million after winning $16.2 million in the Pennsylvania lottery in 1988. Here is one man who had no idea what to do with his instant fortune. Sure it didn’t help when a former girlfriend sued him, and won, for a portion of his winnings. Certainly didn’t help when his own brother hired a hit man to kill him!
  3. Then there was Sharon Tirabassi, a single mother on welfare, who won $10,569,00.10 from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. “She subsequently spent her winnings on a ‘big house, fancy cars, designer clothes, lavish parties, exotic trips, handouts to family, loans to friends’ and in less than a decade she’s back ‘riding the bus, working part-time, and living in a rented house.'”
  4. Evelyn Adams wins the lottery twice over two years amounting to a cool $5.4 million. Unfortunately no-one explained the concept of responsible gambling to her. She consequently blows the whole lot in Atlantic City and now lives in a caravan park.
  5. Then there’s the sad story of one woman, Ibi  Roncailoli, who was murdered by her husband after winning $5 million in a 1991 Lotto 649 drawing. “When Joseph Roncailoli, a gynecologist, found out Ibi gave $2 million of her fortune to a secret child she’d had with another man, he poisoned her with painkillers, the Toronto Star reports.

The list goes on and some of the stories are quite sad and most seemed that lady luck had something against them. The reality is that these guys just didn’t know what to do with their instant wealth.

Millions can come and go in the blink of an eye if your not careful. People who earned their millions know how to no only keep it but to grow their fortunes. Something a lot of them had in common was they went out on a shopping spree. With the price of stuff today it doesn’t take long to spend that sort of cash.

Others made bad investments. Honestly, you just shouldn’t go and invest vast amounts of money without knowing what you’re doing.

Some gambled it away. Shit, you’d think they would be happy with millions in their pocket and that they’d know better than to try and grow it by gambling it away!

The moral of this story is if you’re lucky to win millions stick it in a bank until you come up with a smart plan of spending a portion of it wisely and then investing the rest following a trusted financial advisors investment plans.

Million Dollar US Powerball Up For grabs

You all know how much I love it when there is a huge jackpot up for grabs. That’s the only time I actually buy a lottery ticket. Can you smell that money in the air? I can all $359 million of it.

359 Million Dollar US Powerball Could Be Yours

Million Dollar US PowerballYep, that $359 Million is just waiting there for some lucky person to grab it. The best thing is you don’t even have to be a US citizen or live in the US to win it. Not that long ago an Iraqi man was flown to America when he had a sizable lottery win. Not saying that they fly every major lottery winner but its a possibility.

Shit, even if they didn’t fly you over, if I won that sort of money I’d pay my own way over and then take a world cruise back home. Heck I’d probably even buy some luxury holiday homes in some of my favourite places to visit, like the Amalfi Coast for example.

Naturally that’s only going to happen if I buy a ticket and those that know me know that I always buy a ticket when I write about a pending jackpot.

Here’s proof of my Million Dollar US Powerball ticket.

win_us-powerball-jackpot-tickets

You’ll notice that I also invested in a Syndicate Bundle entry. I did that to increase my chances of becoming an instant multi-millionaire. And it only cost me a little over $5 to enter.

You’ll notice I used theLotter.com to buy those tickets. I reckon they’re probably the luckiest online lottery agent around.

Other lottery agents I’m a member of include;

  1. OZ Lotteries, best prices for those Aussie lottery tickets.
  2. Giantlottos.com
  3. Playhugelottos.com

I’m also thinking of joining Jackpot.com, another online lottery site which looks pretty cool. If I do I’ll be sure to tell you about my experience with them.
