An Aucklander has become an overnight multimillionaire after winning the fourth largest Big Wednesday Lotto prize ever.

NZ Lotteries chief executive Wayne Pickup said the unknown person, who bought a ticket at Royal Oak Mall, had won $11.4 million in last night's draw.

Their prize package includes a Lamborghini, an Audi, a boat, $50,000 cash towards luxury travel, a $50,000 Platinum VISA card, $675,000 cash towards a bach and $10 million cash.

He advised the winner to write their name and address on their ticket as soon as possible.

Royal Oak Lotto store owner Gill Newlove said staff were excited about the winner arriving with their ticket.

"We've had a lot of people coming in and checking their tickets, and asking if it's been claimed yet. It would be great if it's gone to a regular, either way we're all feeling tingly!"

Big Wednesday has been jackpotting since a Greymouth couple won $8.4 million last November.

The biggest Big Wednesday win ever was a $36 million prize claimed in Masterton in 2009.

In 2006 there were two $12 million Big Wednesday wins in Thames and Wellington.
