Eight second division winners each got $30,074 in Saturday's Lotto draw while two of them, including the Whanganui player, also won Powerball second division, taking their total winnings to $37,815.
In July a ticket sold at Whanganui's Countdown Victoria Ave won its holder $18,064 as one of 19 second division winners.
That second division win was the second this month for a ticket bought at Countdown Victoria Ave. That player won $19,986 in the July 10 draw.
