Less than two months ago, Powerball lightning struck the tranquil coastal town of Caloundra when a local Sunshine Coast woman took out the entire $60 million jackpot and became an overnight multi-millionaire. 

Now the jackpot is back on the climb, again offering a massive $60 million for the second time this year! 

We are eagerly waiting to see if we’ll be crowning our next division one Powerball winner for 2020 and where exactly that life-changing win could land. 

To ease some of the anticipation, we’ve taken a look back at our major prize-winning post codes to see where the millions landed last year. The numbers are in and we’re excited to reveal the postcodes that are home to the outlets that sold division one prizes in 2019! 

From 1 January to 31 December, there were 435 division one winning entries held by players across the country that delivered more than $1.3 billion in division one prize money. Of these, 240 became millionaires or multi-millionaires.
