A lucky Lotto player from Tauranga is $23,122 richer after winning Second Division.

The winning ticket was sold at Gate Pa Superette and was drawn in Saturday night's draw.

Nine other winning tickets were sold in Northland, Auckland, Otorohanga, Hastings, Wellington, Christchurch and Timaru.

Anyone who bought a ticket from Gate Pa Superette should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it at any lotto outlet, or online at MyLotto.co.nz.

Gate Pa Superette store manager Akwinder Kaur said staff were excited to have sold a winning ticket.

Ms Kaur thought her store was pretty lucky - in September last year they sold a winning $1 million ticket and in February this year they sold a winning Instant Kiwi scratchie.
