Two lucky Lotto players from Tauranga and Thames will be jumping for joy after each winning $200,000 in Lotto's Strike Four on Saturday night.
The winning Strike tickets were sold on MyLotto to a player from Tauranga and at Martina Four Square & Lotto in Thames.
A lucky Lotto player from Mount Maunganui will also be celebrating after winning $28,589 with Lotto Second Division in Saturday night’s live Lotto draw.
The winning Second Division ticket was purchased at Bayfair Lotto.
Powerball was not struck on Saturday evening and has rolled over to Wednesday night where the jackpot will be a mammoth $43 million.
“High jackpots are exciting, and we know Kiwis all around the country will be dreaming about what they would do if they won $43 million with Powerball on Wednesday,” says Lotto NZ’s Head of Corporate Communications Lucy Fullarton.
“As the jackpot climbs, there is more demand for our games. We know stores will be busy from around 5pm on Wednesday, and lots of people will also be jumping online to grab their ticket in the hour before sales close at 7.30pm.
"Our advice is to get in early and avoid the rush,” says Lucy.
Meanwhile, five lucky Lotto players from Auckland, New Plymouth, Napier, and Christchurch will be celebrating after each winning $200,000 with Lotto First Division in Saturday night’s live Lotto draw.
The winning tickets were sold at Pak N Save Henderson in Auckland, Pak N Save Mangere in Auckland, New World Greenmeadows in Napier, and on MyLotto to players from New Plymouth and Christchurch.
