Mount Maunganui, Tauranga, Auckland players win share of Lotto $1 million

People are reminded to check their tickets this morning.

Players from Mount Maunganui, Tauranga and Auckland are counting their winnings today after picking up shares of Lotto First Division’s $1 million in Wednesday night’s draw.

Three players each won $333,333.

The winning tickets were sold at Amigo’s Dairy, Stationery & Lotto in Auckland, Bayfair Lotto in Mount Maunganui and on MyLotto to a player from Tauranga, Lotto NZ said.

Powerball was not struck and rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $5 million.

“Strike Four also rolled over and will be $1.5m on Saturday, meaning it will be a Must Be Won draw,” said a Lotto spokesperson.

“In a Strike Must Be Won draw, if no single ticket wins First Division, the prize pool is added to the next highest division with a winner.

“Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores or on MyLotto should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto App.

Wednesday’s winning numbers were 1 4 13 25 26 27 with Bonus 16 and Powerball 6. Strike was 13 27 25 26.
