In the largest case, a winner who bought their ticket in Melton pocketed a cool $5.2 million.

All up, Australia saw 477 division one winners and more than $1.2 in prize money distributed.

Victoria was the luckiest state – with 134 division ones and 65 instant millionaires.

The Lott’s Bronwyn Spencer said 2020’s hotspots would soon have a chance to cement their reputations as a winning postcode or region.

“We’re kicking off the New Year with a bang thanks to Saturday Lotto’s $30 Million Megadraw on Saturday January 2,” she said.

“It’ll be interesting to see if division one wins from this draw – the biggest Saturday Lotto draw of the year – fall in any of 2020’s hotspots.”

“While lottery wins can land anywhere, from time to time, we see pockets of wins in the same region or postcode emerge.

“This year we’ve seen a mix of hotspots, from bustling city centres to regional areas and smaller towns, proving that a winning hotspot can emerge anywhere across the country.

“We know that division one wins are welcomed anywhere and at any time, but breaking the incredible news to our division one winners this year has been especially rewarding.

“In a time of great uncertainty and plenty of challenges, it’s been a joy to hear the hopes and dreams our major winners have for their windfalls.

”we’ve heard a variety of amazing winners stories this year: from a young Adelaide dad who scored a multi-million-dollar division one after losing his job in the pandemic, to a Victorian player who won twice in the same draw – and an $80 million Powerball winner who simply wanted to splurge on a new telly.”
