An Australian woman has claimed the $20 million prize from Oz Lotto draw 1695, which took place on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. The winner, a resident of Hervey Bay in Queensland, held one of the two division one winning entries nationwide, with each entry securing $20 million.
The woman discovered her win while checking her ticket on her way to work. She initially mistook the prize amount for $20,000 before realizing the significant number of zeros. The windfall is described as a substantial financial boost for her family, though she indicated she will continue working for the time being.
The winning ticket was purchased at Nextra Fraser Gateway Newsagency, located in the Stockland Shopping Centre in Urraween. According to the newsagency owner, Steven Chow, this marks the outlet's second division one win in the past week. He noted that the store has had a total of seven division one wins in the three and a half years he has owned it. The staff expressed excitement and offered congratulations to the latest winner, with hopes of selling more winning entries in the future.
