The Lott’s Matt Hart joined Nat Barr on Sunrise on Thursday and excitedly said that even he was nervous about the history-making prize for the potential Division One winner.

“I’ll be watching tonight to see if we have any winners,” Hart said.

Barr asked what would happen if no one claimed the $150 million jackpot.

“We have only had two $150 million jackpots so far; three people used it in 2019,” Hart said.

“The second instance was earlier this year when there were no Division One winners and the jackpot reached $200 million, a record.

“We could be heading into familiar territory there if there are no premiership winners tonight.”

This week, The Lott shared details of the winners’ hotspots with 7NEWS.com.au.

In New South Wales, stores in Dapto (postcode 2530) and Berala (postcode 2141) each sold two winning entries from Division One.

In Queensland, three Division One entries were received in Nerang and Pacific Pines (both postcodes 4211), and an outlet in the ACT, Gungahlin (postcode 2912) sold two Division One prizes in the territory.
