North Brisbane Retiree Wins AU$4 Million in Oz Lotto

Oz Lotto’s draw 1697 on August 25, 2026, produced a single division one winning entry. The player, who scored the division one winning entry, is an elderly man from North Brisbane who is looking forward to an AU$4m prize. The fortunate man, a Geebung dad, decided to give the Oz Lotto game a try. He purchased his 6-game QuickPick entry from The Lott’s official website.

The player entered Oz Lotto’s drawing 1697 on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. The incredibly lucky retiree emerged as the winner of the only division one winning entry across Australia for a once-in-a-lifetime prize of AU$4m ($2.9m).

The fortunate man was contacted by The Lott, but unfortunately the lottery official couldn’t get through to the winner. The Geebung dad admitted that he had difficulty checking his ticket and asked his son to do it. The lucky retiree explained that he often turns off his phone, so it isn’t surprising that The Lott couldn’t get through to him last week. With the multi-million-dollar prize, the fortunate player is now looking forward to traveling.
