Tonight: The Oz Lotto AUD $5,000,000 Draw

Oz Lotto, one of Australia's biggest lotteries, will draw tomorrow evening 20:30 AEST (6:30am EST, 4:30am GMT) for a sum of AUD $5,000,000. A weekly lottery, Oz Lotto has paid the highest prizes in jackpots more than any other lottery in the land down under. Typically, the lottery does not soar to huge jackpots reminiscing of America's biggest lotteries, but when it does it gets really big. November 2012 saw the Oz Lotto paying an AUD $117 million prize paid to a ticket winner, with a AUD$109 paid 3 years before then in 2009 to another lucky player.
