America’s Luckiest Street Names, Ranked (20 Years of Lottery Data)

Luck shows up in all sorts of places, at the end of a rainbow, inside a four-leaf clover, on St. Patrick’s Day… or maybe even right outside your front door.

To find out the luckiest locations of all, our researchers analyzed more than 20 years of U.S. lottery results, examining 160,000+ winning tickets. For every jackpot win, we identified the retailer that sold the ticket, and crucially, the street name attached to that location.

By mapping and tallying every winning address, we were able to rank the street names that have produced the highest amount of winning tickets nationwide.

So, if you live on one of these streets, or pass a lottery store with one of these names on your daily commute, it might be worth making a small detour.

Key Findings:

• Street names containing “Rockwood” ranked as the luckiest overall, with 1,081 winning tickets sold, generating $9.8 million in total jackpots.
• “Main” street ranked second, with 878 winning tickets sold and $485 million in total jackpot prizes.
• Street names featuring “Broadway” came third, producing 430 winning tickets and $489 million in total jackpots.

The Top 5 Luckiest Street Names: Ranked by Winning Lottery Tickets

Ever wondered if luck is waiting just around the corner? According to the data, it might be closer than you think.

Streets featuring Rockwood have sold an impressive 1,081 winning lottery tickets, more than any other street name nationwide. Collectively, those wins total $9.8 million in jackpot prizes, placing Rockwood in the top 0.68% of all street names analyzed. If luck has an address, this may well be it.

Hot on its heels is good old “Main” Street, that includes North, South, East, and West Main, variations. It might sound like the most ordinary address in America, but don’t let the name fool you. Main Streets across the country have produced 878 winning tickets, racking up a jaw-dropping $485 million in total jackpot prizes.

“Broadway” takes third place, with 430 winning tickets sold at locations including the name. Those tickets amount to $447.5 million in total jackpots, showing that Broadway isn’t just home to bright lights and big cities, it also has a strong track record of lottery success.

Not far behind is “Market” Street, with 257 winning tickets generating $447.5 million in jackpot prizes. A name long associated with trade and prosperity, Market appears to live up to its reputation when it comes to striking it lucky.

Rounding out the top five is “Lincoln,” where 197 winning tickets have totaled $17.4 million in jackpot prizes. Found in towns and cities across the country, Lincoln street could just bring you that luck you’ve been searching for.

Summary:

While buying a ticket on one of these streets is never a guarantee of hitting the jackpot, the data shows that certain street names appear far more frequently in lottery history than others. So next time you pass a Rockwood, Main, or Broadway, it might just be worth popping in, because when it comes to luck, location could matter more than you think.

Methodology:

To identify America’s luckiest street names, we analyzed over 20 years of Mega Millions and Powerball winning ticket data, requested from each state.

In total, more than 160,000 jackpot-winning tickets were examined. For each winning entry, we recorded the licensed retailer that sold the ticket, including the full store address. Street names were then extracted from each address and standardized to ensure consistency (for example, combining variations such as “Main St.” and “Main Street,” and grouping directional variants such as North Main, South Main, East Main, and West Main under “Main”).

Each street name was ranked based on the total number of winning tickets sold at addresses bearing that name.

Total jackpot prize value was also calculated for additional context, though rankings were determined by frequency of winning tickets rather than total prize money.
