How to be a winner! Australia’s Lotto hotspots revealed

You’ve got to be in it to win it, but it turns out there are some suburbs that are luckier than others when it comes to winning Lotto.

There were nearly 300 winners scoring prizes over $1 million in Australia in 2017.

NSW had 77 division one winners; Victoria had 67; Queensland had 63; and Western Australia had 49.

When it comes to specific suburbs that had the most Lotto winners, Springwood in Queensland came out on top with four winning tickets worth over $27 million. Cabramatta in NSW also had four division one winners worth over $18 million. And Mill Park in Victoria had four winners, scoring just over $9 million.

But according to The Lott spokeswoman Elissa Lewis, that doesn’t mean we should all be rushing to those suburbs to buy tickets of our own.

“It’s important to remember that lottery games are entertaining games of chance,” Lewis said in a statement. “Every number on your ticket has an equal chance of being drawn, no matter where you buy your ticket.”

Do you know anyone who has won the Lotto? We would love to hear from you in the comments.
