A Whakatāne Lotto player will have a skip in their step today after winning a share of First Division in last night's draw.
Two players each won $500,000.
The winning tickets were sold at Meadow Park Store in Whangarei and on MyLotto to a player from Whakatāne.
The winning numbers were 28, 23, 8, 21, 11, and 34. The bonus ball was 4 and powerball 3.
Powerball was not struck and has rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $16 million.
