If you’re thinking of buying a Lotto ticket in 2025, your postcode might just matter more than you think. New research has revealed the lucky suburbs across Australia where the biggest Lotto wins have been happening. With certain areas consistently topping the list, could your suburb be the next big winner?
Victoria Dominates with the Most Wins
Victoria has claimed the title of the Division 1 capital of Australia, with a staggering 142 wins amounting to over $280 million in prizes, reports 7News. That’s a lot of cash, and a lot of lucky Aussies. The state has seen the most frequent wins, particularly in the postcodes of Burnside/Deer Park/Cairnlea and Frankston, which each sold three Division 1 winning entries. It’s no wonder that Victorians are feeling lucky these days—perhaps they’ve got the winning secret sauce.
New South Wales Claims the Biggest Prize Pool
While Victoria may have won the most prizes, New South Wales has clinched the top spot for the biggest prize pool. With 111 Division 1 wins generating over $480 million, including two massive $100 million prizes, NSW has proven that sometimes it’s not about how many wins, but how big they are. Sydney, in particular, continues to be a prime location for big wins, with the postcode of 2000 (Sydney CBD) selling five Division 1 winning tickets. If you’re in Sydney, it might be worth playing the odds.
Brisbane and Regional Areas Lead the Way
But it’s not just the major cities where winners are popping up. Brisbane’s CBD (postcode 4000) has sold several winning entries, alongside regional hotspots like Bundaberg (4670), Cairns/Earlville (4870), and Toowoomba (4350). Even places like Alice Springs (0870) and Mowbray in Tasmania (7248) are seeing a bit of luck, with several big wins making these areas worth watching.
The Quirky Side of Winning
Of course, no story about Lotto winners would be complete without a mention of some of the fun and quirky reactions people have when they win big. Matt Hart from The Lott shared some interesting tales, saying winners’ emotions vary wildly. “Some people tell us they love me, they want to marry me, but that never happened,” he joked. One standout story was of a man from Bundaberg who had already won Division 1 once and then claimed a “Set for Life” prize—talk about a double dose of luck.
The Future of Lotto
It’s clear that some locations are hot for lottery winners, but it’s hard to predict exactly where the next big win will come from. The reality is that a good portion of the population never wins, but there’s always a thrill in hoping that your postcode could be next. With 2025 bringing its own set of opportunities, those who are still chasing that elusive win may find themselves eyeing the lucky locations listed above.
So, if you’re planning to buy a Lotto ticket, it might just be worth checking if your postcode has a little extra magic. Who knows? Your next big win might be just one ticket away.
