Out of these 11 wins, five were in New South Wales, four in Queensland, and one each in South Australia and Victoria.

According to The Lott spokesperson Matt Hart, if just one person takes home the entire $100 million prize, they will not only receive a substantial boost to their bank account but also share the crown of Australia's third-biggest lottery winner ever.
