If you are looking to make your luck with a lotto ticket, there are some Launceston hot pots that have a history of hitting division one wins.
Since 2010 news agencies around Launceston have sold winning tickets to the value of more than $26 million.
While the highest individual ticket - bought from Riverside Post News & Lotto - pocketed its owner $3.3 million, your best chances for a winner come elsewhere.
Meadow Mews News & Lotto produced a $100,000 division one winner just over a week ago and has sold three of the last four division one winners in Launceston.
Meadows Mews News & Lotto owner Viv Dobley said she had no idea what makes them lucky, but they just were.
Ms Dobley said at one of her stores in Kings Meadows there is a little buddha statue that customers rub for luck from time to time, but that was all she could think of.

"We're the lucky news agency and I don't think there's any news agency in Tasmania that's sold as many winners as us," she said.
Ms Dobley said, according to her books, they had sold 23 division one winners in 30 years and that people travel from around Tasmania to buy lotto tickets from her shop.
Meadow Mews may have the most winners but it is Newstead Newsagency & Lotto that has brought in the most money from their winning tickets.
Their four winners have pocketed a combined $4.45 million, with one of them snaring a $2.65 million pay day.
Newstead Newsagency owner Louise Clark said she thought they were lucky just because of the area they get to work in, let alone the winning lotto tickets.
Ms Clark said it was often regulars that won division one jackpots in their store.
"When one of the regulars gets a win and you know them it is really special," Ms Clark said.
Ms Clark sold the $2.65 million ticket but the person and the person only came back in because they saw Ms Clark on the news saying they were waiting for someone to claim the winnings.
Ms Clark's husband and co-owner Glenn Clark was more adamant about their luck.
"We're lucky because we sell winning tickets," Mr Clark said.
