Point Cook Tops Jackpot Tally

A Point Cook couple who pocketed a life-changing $30 million Powerball prize in February has become the standout local success story in a year where Victoria leads the nation for division one lottery wins.

New national data from The Lott confirms that Victoria records more division one wins than any other state, with 142 winning entries lodged in the 11 months to 30 November 2025. Those entries delivered $280.3 million, with the Point Cook jackpot standing as Victoria’s largest individual prize of the year.

Across Australia, there were 479 division one winning entries during the period, totalling more than $1.5 billion in prize money. While Victoria takes the crown for most wins, New South Wales claims the biggest share of prize money, recording $468.3 million thanks to two separate $100 million jackpots.

The Lott’s postcode breakdown highlights winning hotspots across the country. In Victoria, Burnside/Deer Park/Cairnlea (3023) and Frankston (3199) each sold three division one winning entries. Other states showed similar clusters, with Sydney CBD (2000) selling five wins, several Queensland postcodes selling three each, and Yokine (6060) in Western Australia selling three.
