One of the biggest lotto jackpots of the year will be held on Saturday night – the $30m megadraw.

Because the odds of winning Saturday lotto are much higher than Powerball or OzLotto (one in 8.14 million compared to one in 134.49m and one in 62.89m), the draw is likely to produce several instant millionaires.

If you’re superstitious, we’ve listed where the biggest lotto prizes in SA were won over the past five years.

“Some players tell us they deliberately pick outlets that have recently sold a major prize in the hope of continuing the winning streak, while other players choose different outlets, believing good fortune awaits for them elsewhere,” said The Lott spokesman James Eddy.

Let’s hope a South Australian takes out Division 1 because our friendly rivals over the border in Victoria seem to get more than their fair share of luck.

For the sixth year in a row, Victorian suburbs and towns have topped the national charts of lotto winners, with 153 Division 1 winners last financial year nabbing $467m in prize money.

A total of 532 winners of the top prize were announced throughout Australia between July 2021 and June 2022.

SA had just 42 of them, and the lucky locals took home a total of just under $60m. Three of the winning tickets were sold in CBD outlets.

NSW and the ACT were home to 141 winners, totalling $464m in prize money.

Queensland welcomed 104 new millionaires ($350m) and Western Australia had 73 winners ($256m).

The last big Powerball draw in June saw a single winner in Canberra scoop the entire $60.7m jackpot.

Meanwhile, have you ever wondered which SA home lottery gives you the best odds?

From spectacular multimillion-dollar homes to luxury cars, glorious holiday retreats in the state’s best locations, caravans, ski boats, travel packages, wine and wads of cash, the prizes on offer to support a local charity are astonishing – and more extravagant than ever before.
