Bethlehem Four Square and Lotto owners Harpreet and Raj Gill believe their shop is the luckiest shop in town.

The store sold two of Saturday night's four winning First Division Lotto winners, who each collect a $250,000 prize haul.

But this is not the first time the store has sold the lucky ticket – it has sold nine winning First Division Lotto tickets in the past and Harpreet believes the store is the luckiest in town.

He says two First Division winners in the same draw is almost unheard of.

'It's very rare. Sometimes it can take years to have one win.”

This is the first winning ticket sold at the shop on State Highway 2 in Bethlehem since Harpreet and Raj became the new owners three months ago.

Harpreet first heard of the win at 7am on Sunday when his staff phoned him to tell him of the news.

'I was in bed. I said I would be there in five minutes.”

He says his staff have been really excited since hearing they sold the winning tickets and the shop has been busy with customers coming to check their tickets.

'We are very excited, we feel very lucky. Everyone that walks in now we think might be the winner.”

The winners have not yet been into the store to collect their winnings.

Although people from as far as Auckland come to buy tickets from the store, Harpreet and his wife hope the winners are from Tauranga.

'It's good for the local community to have a win. We would be very happy to see that money go back into the Tauranga community.”

Meanwhile, Sharon from Waihi spun and won $150,000 on Saturday night's Winning Wheel.

Lotto players in Auckland, and New Plymouth also won a $250,000 share of Lotto First Division.

The winning tickets were sold at Take Note Clendon in Auckland and Countdown Spotswood in New Plymouth.
