AUSTRALIA'S luckiest lottery suburbs have been revealed as the latest Powerball jackpot goes up for grabs.

The $60 million prize was the second biggest windfall offered by any Australian lottery game this year — second only to last month's $100 million win.

New data revealed some Aussie suburbs are luckier than others when it comes to winning big.

While the last Powerball winner was a lucky Bankstown dad who scored the whopping $100 million, Victoria has actually had the most division one winners of the past year.

Nobody has claimed this week's $60 million jackpot yet.

However, if it goes to another New South Wales resident, there is a strong chance they could be from Sydney's west.

"There were six suburbs that each sold three division one wins, Springvale South/Dingley Village, Doreen/Mernda, the Melbourne CBD, Wyndham, Endeavour Hills and Lalor," The Lott's Matt Hart told nine.com.au.

He added that Berala had more winners, as did Dapto on the South Coast.

In Queensland Nerang and Morayfield had more winners while South Australia boasted winners from Gawler and Oaklands Park.

Tasmanian winners were mostly from Sorelle and Rosny Park and Kalgoorlie in WA struck gold with five division one winners.

"Yarrawonga sold the biggest prize from an in-store ticket in the Northern Territory," Hart said.

"The most frequently drawn numbers, 17, 7, 9, 3 and 28 and the most frequently drawn of the Powerball are the numbers, 2, 3 and 19."

If you're hoping to be Australia's next big millionaire it's time to see if you struck gold.

Thursday night's winning numbers are: 19, 14, 18, 22, 16, 4, 33.

The lucky Powerball number is: 18.

The chances of claiming a Division One Powerball prize are about 134.5 million to one.

But don't lose hope, because a total of 303 millionaires were created by division one wins in Australia in the last financial year – the equivalent of almost one a day, Yahoo Australia reported.

The UK's luckiest place, where residents are most likely to win the postcode lottery, has also been revealed.

The People's Postcode Lottery was launched in 2005 and gives out a million pounds to Brits every week - based entirely on where they live.

But residents in a Shropshire town have been named the luckiest in the UK, according to new research.

People living in Telford have most often been selected as weekly winners of the jackpot, having racked up an average of 42.14 wins per 10,000 households, BirminghamLive reports.

The town is followed by Shrewsbury, where an average of 41.57 wins have been recorded.
