Four Lotto players won $250,000 in First Division tonight.
The winning tickets were sold at Westside Superette in Auckland, New World Kapiti in Paraparaumu, Fresh Choice Nelson City in Nelson and Fresh Choice Green Island in Dunedin.
A $116,635 Strike Four ticket was also sold at Bus Stop Dairy in Christchurch.
There was just $4 million up for grabs in Powerball tonight after a young couple from Auckland's Hibiscus Coast won the must-go $44 million on Wednesday. It wasn't struck and so rolled over to $5 million on Wednesday.
The winning Hibiscus Coast couple had just about given up on being able to buy their first home when one of them discovered they'd won during a break at work.
