Two Bay of Plenty punters have an extra reason to celebrate this long weekend after each winning $25,093 in Lotto's draw last night.

They were among 13 players around the country who each won $18,189 in Lotto's second division in Saturday night's draw.

The two lucky players from Bay of Plenty and another from Wellington also won Powerball's second division, taking their total winnings to $25,093.

The winning Bay of Plenty second division tickets were sold at Smiths City store in Kawerau and on My Lotto, and the Powerball winning tickets were each sold on MyLotto.

The other winning Lotto second division tickets were sold in Hamilton, Auckland, Wellington, Palmerston North, Westport and Invercargill.

• Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the winning stores should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it immediately at any Lotto outlet, online at MyLotto.co.nz or through the Lotto NZ App.
