A friend got third division which was a "shitty" $3700. There's so much gap between the divisions! This draw was such a load of shit, you couldn't have paid me to enter it and sit there watching the TV like half the nation did. It was no different to any other draw!

UPDATE 9.50am: A COUPLE sharing a monster $106 million Lotto jackpot with a blue collar battler are back at work today despite their massive win.

They are first-time Oz Lotto players from the Gold Coast.

They are sharing the massive prize jackpot with an Adelaide battler, who has been trying for a big win for 20 years.

The ticket holders are now $53 million richer, after winning a share of Australia's biggest ever lotto draw.

The middle-aged couple from the Gold Coast, the South Australian man in his 40s were the only winners in the Oz Lotto $106 million first division prize drawn last night.

The couple, who – not surprisingly - wanted to remain anonymous, bought a ticket from Lucky Mermaid News on the Gold Coast while the man reportedly purchased his winning ticket at a cafe at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide.

"I'm numb and quite frankly I have no idea how I'm ever going to sleep again,'' the man from the blue collar Adelaide western suburbs told SA Lotteries.

"I never expected to win and certainly never expected to win more than $50 million.''

He said he would share his prize with family members and charities.

Golden Casket Lottery spokeswoman Karen Anning said it was the Gold Coast couple's first time playing Oz Lotto despite having played in other lotteries.

Lucky Mermaid News owner June Neilson says it's also the first time the agency has sold a first division winning ticket.

"I don't know if we'll get to meet them but I'm really happy for them,'' Ms Neilson said.

Despite their riches, the couple are going to work today.

"It is business as usual for them today. They are going to work,'' Ms Anning said.

"They said they had to check their numbers multiple times last night.

"When they got the call this morning solidifying their winnings, they said `I was hoping to hear from you this morning'.''

She said the couple were in the throes of deciding what to do with their new-found wealth.

"They want to help out family and donate money to some charities,'' Ms Anning said.

Another 60 people will each get more than $33,000 from the second division pool.

The Tuesday night jackpot draw originally set for $90 million was pushed up by a surge of late entries, taking the first division prize to just over $106.5 million and the total prize pool to $177.4 million.

The lucky trio have shared Australia's biggest ever lotto.

After 10 million tickets were sold - three million in Victoria alone - it was revealed last night there were just two winning tickets.

The monster prizes are the biggest individual Australian lotto wins, topping last year's $58.7 million Powerball prize shared by four Victorians.

While the top prize appears to have gone interstate, more than 1.1 million Victorians will walk away with something from the historic Oz Lotto draw.

Twenty-one Victorian ticketholders will get $33,468.25 as second division winners.

Unprecedented demand for tickets saw the first division prize pool top more than $106 million, smashing the expected $90 million jackpot.

Tattersall's spokeswoman Karen Anning last night said Oz Lotto fever had pushed the prize pool sky-high to a final figure of $106,548,562.15.

"The past couple of weeks have been absolutely phenomenal," she told the Herald Sun. "The interest around Australia has been absolutely unbelievable.

"To have finally drawn the prize is just sensational.

"We had never seen anything like it before and it is unlikely we will see it again for a very long time."

Last night's draw was the finale of a week of Oz Lotto mania.

Channel 7 interrupted regular programming to broadcast the draw.

Yesterday, millions of people flocked to lotto outlets to snap up their tickets. Tattersall's processed some 200,000 tickets an hour across Victoria between 3pm and 5pm.

The Tatts website shut down as millions tried to log on in a last-ditch attempt to buy a winning ticket.

Then the site went into meltdown again last night as millions tried to check the winning numbers.

Tattersall's will provide the new instant millionaires with a network of support services to assist them with the win.

"Maintaining their privacy and respecting their wishes is the primary concern and objective for us," Ms Anning said. "We will provide information and a list of services they can tap into to help them through this emotional time."

She said the winners would be able to collect their prize in about a fortnight.

This is wierd, since I bought a lottery ticket on my 15th birthday I've never lost any money on the lottery. granted I never play the shit, but every time I do I win something, usually something insignificant anyways.

Knew it couldn't have been you.

Anyone who wins that much money, then tells the world about is in serious need of a psychiatrist.

The form of the text that the Italian pharmacologist is writing on his laptop is inconsistent between the close-up shots and the longer-distance ones: the laptop is a Windows machine, and the longer-distance show the Windows operating system, but the close-ups are of the modern Macintosh operating system.
