Players from Wellington also made up some of the 36, with ticket-holders from New World Miramar, New World Newtown, Gorgeous Goose Cakes & Lotto, Pak’nSave Lower Hutt also winning Second Division prizes, along with two MyLotto tickets bought by Wellington-based players.

Three players also won Powerball Second Division, taking their total winnings to $31,572.

The winning Powerball Second Division tickets were sold at Four Square BK’s in Auckland, Ōamaru New World in Ōamaru, and on MyLotto to a player from New Plymouth.
