“In the first 11 months of 2025, more than 470 Aussies across the country experienced the indescribable thrill of a division one lottery win,” 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.
“But it wasn’t just the big capital cities that saw the big wins in 2025, with many regional and remote areas also basking in the good fortune.
“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.
“Regardless, as many lottery winners tell us, you’ve got to be in it for the chance to win it!”
