A Matamata Lotto player has won $100,000 playing Strike Four.
The winning ticket for Saturday night’s draw was sold at New World Matamata.
A player from Taranaki who bought their ticket online via MyLotto also won Strike Four.
The Matamata winner wasn’t the only lucky Waikato player at the weekend.
A Waikato MyLotto player was one of three to win Powerball second division, picking up $25,925. The other Powerball winners were from Auckland and Christchurch.
Another Waikato MyLotto player and one who bought their ticket at New World Morrinsville were also among 12 second-division Lotto winners, scoring $20,708 each.

Last week a Taupō Lotto player struck it lucky in Saturday night’s draw.
The player, who bought their ticket at Paper Plus Taupō, was one of 21 second-division winners, each picking up $12,965.
The winners also included two from the Franklin area — a ticket bought at Patumāhoe Four Square, and the other online via MyLotto.
Meanwhile three Lotto players from Kaipara, Wellington and Invercargill each won $333,333 with Lotto first division in Saturday night’s draw. The winning tickets were sold on MyLotto.
