Australian Record $100 million Oz Lotto jackpot

Australians are ready to play the continent's biggest  lotto jackpot. Oz Lotto's jackpot rose to $100 million (AUS) after no one hit all the numbers from Tuesday's draw.

The winning numbers from October. 30 were 26, 21, 31, 4, 8, 5, 16 and Supplementals 41 and 32. Players can now play online for Oz Lotto's next draw on Nov. 6.

On Tuesday, SA Lotteries’ Customer Relations Manager, Lauren Halliday spoke of the record prize offering: "Oz Lotto rewrote South Australian history record in June 2009 when a man from Adelaide won more than $53 million. It is believed that Tuesday’s $100 million Oz Lotto draw can create another big lottery win for South Australia."
