VideoWA has again struck lotto gold, this time with one lucky player picking up the entire $30 million Oz Lotto jackpot.

The hunt is on for the one lucky WA winner who scooped the entire $30 million jackpot in Tuesday’s Oz Lotto draw.

No one has yet come forward to claim the prize, which was bought from Lotterywest online.

The jackpot follows a string of recent wins for West Aussies, including a ticket winning the whole $40 million Powerball jackpot in March.

Lotterywest chief executive Ralph Addis said it had been an incredible start to 2023 for Lotto in WA, with a total of 29 Division One wins across all Lotto games so far — an average of two big wins a week.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome yet another big win for WA, only a few weeks after celebrating a Swan Valley family taking home $40 million in Powerball,” he said.

“The WA community is also a winner following tonight’s draw, with more than $1.27 million raised thanks to players over the five-week jackpot roll which will contribute to our grants program.”

Across the State, two OZ Lotto players will take home a Division Two prize each worth more than $64,000. The tickets were bought in through Lotterywest online.

The winning numbers were: 19, 47, 15, 46, 12, 9 and 21 with the supplementary numbers 16, 34 and 30.

The Oz Lotto draw 1521 was the biggest prize offered by the Tuesday game this year.

Lotto spokesperson Matt Hart told 7NEWS on Tuesday that it was the sixth division one Oz Lotto win for 2023.

“We’ve had a steady stream of Oz Lotto division one wins so far this year, which is why we haven’t seen the jackpot climb too high… until now,” he said.

“This $30 million prize is the highest Oz Lotto has reached so far in 2023.”

In March, a Perth father who unknowingly walked around with the winning $40 million ticket in his pocket for a week.

He bought the ticket, a Slikpik 18, from Springs News in Bennett Springs just an hour before the draw closed as a last-minute decision.

The father treated his family to fish and chips for dinner after the colossal win.

“I was in complete disbelief and shock when the retailer explained I had the winning ticket,” he said.

“We’re a tight family and will share the win together, making sure our kids and grandkids are looked after.”
