More than $20 million dollars is still waiting to be collected by a Big Wednesday first division winner.
The jackpot was won by a lucky punter who bought the winning ticket at the Pukekohe Countdown supermarket in South Auckland.
The $20.2 million prize was fourth largest prize won by an individual ticket.

But a Lotto NZ spokeswoman said today that nobody had yet come forward to claim the fortune.
"We're still waiting."
The ticket-holder won $20,048,756 with Big Wednesday first division and $197,319 with Big Wednesday second division.
This is the third time this year that the Big Wednesday jackpot has been struck.
In February, a Kaikoura couple took home $8.5 million and in April a winner in Takaka won $7 million.
Lotto encouraged anyone who bought their Big Wednesday ticket from Countdown Pukekohe South to check it immediately at any Lotto outlet or online.
NZ’s 'Shark Man' supports the research but warns it's not foolproof.
