With up to a third of Aussie adults expected to have a ticket into this weekend’s Saturday Lotto $30 Million Megadraw, lottery officials have unveiled hotspots that racked up the most division one lottery wins in FY25.
According to data crunched by The Lott, in the 12 months ending 30 June 2025, across Australia there were 533 division one winning entries from all lottery games that delivered more than $1.69 billion in division one prize money.
While Victoria had the most division one wins with 152, players in New South Wales enjoyed the most division one prize money, totalling $532.3 million, thanks to big jackpot wins.
The biggest individual prize won during the year was $100 million – this was won on three occasions (once in Oz Lotto and twice in Powerball).
The data also showed the suburbs in each state and territory that were home to the outlets that sold the most division one winning entries.
- Queensland: The postcode of 4870 for Cairns/Earnville sold four division one winning entries
- New South Wales: The postcode of 2000 for Sydney sold four division one winning entries
- Victoria: The postcodes of 3064 for Craigieburn, 3205 for South Melbourne, 3000 for Melbourne, 3105 for Bulleen, and 3250 for Colac each sold two division one winning entries
- Tasmania: The postcodes of 7270 for Beaconsfield and 7248 for Mowbray each sold two division one winning entries
- South Australia: The postcodes of 5168 for Noarlunga Centre, 5108 for Salisbury/Salisbury Downs and 5000 for Adelaide each sold two division one winning entries
- Northern Territory: The postcode of 0812 for Karama sold the territory’s biggest division one winning ticket
- Western Australia: The postcode of 6062 for Morley sold four division one winning entries
“From Morley in Western Australia to the Sydney CBD, from Cairns to the Apple Isle, more than 500 Aussies experienced the indescribable thrill of a division one win last financial year,” The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart said.
“While lotteries are games of chance where wins can land anywhere at any time, we did see some pockets across the country welcome more prizes than others.
“Saturday Lotto Megadraws have a reputation for creating more millionaires in a single draw than any other game. The big question is whether last financial year’s lottery hotspots will continue to live up to their reputation this weekend.
“Some players tell us they deliberately pick lottery outlets that have recently sold a major lottery prize in the hope of continuing the winning streak, while other players choose different outlets, believing lightning won’t strike twice.
“As many lottery winners tell us, you’ve got to be in it for the chance to win it!”
Saturday Lotto’s $30 Million Megadraw draw 4593 closes at 7.30pm AEST on Saturday 26 July 2025.
