A lucky punter who is $1m richer after they bought a first division Lotto ticket from Papamoa Pak'nSave is yet to claim their prize.
The winning ticket was drawn during Wednesday's night's live Lotto draw.
Papamoa Pak'nSave store manager Glenn MacDonald said he and the other staff were buzzing.
"It's very exciting and I really hope the lucky punter is from Papamoa," he said.
Mr MacDonald said given there were no large events being held in the area this week, he was 90 per cent convinced the winner was a local.
The store's Lotto supervisor, Gloria Goebel, said selling a $1m ticket was awesome news.
