A Papamoa woman who won $200,000 in Lotto says she doesn't usually buy tickets but through she would try her luck.
The woman, who did not want to be identified, won a share of Lotto First Division on Saturday's live draw.
"I usually only buy tickets for the big draws," she said.
"So when I saw Powerball was at $26 million I decided to pick up a ticket.
"As soon as I had my hand on the ticket I had a good feeling - I was definitely feeling lucky."
