Three Bay of Plenty lotto players will be cheering through the long weekend after winning a $16,000 boost with Lotto Second Divison.
The players, two from Tauranga and one from Whakatāne, join eight others from around the country to snag the prize.
The winning Bay tickets were sold at Countdown Bayfair, Ōhauiti Four Square and Paper Plus Whakatāne.
Due to the fire in central Auckland, Lotto NZ was unable to conduct last night's live Lotto draw from its TVNZ studios. The draw was conducted off-air under Audit New Zealand scrutiny.
If anyone bought their ticket from the following store, they should write their name on the back and get it checked immediately.
