Lotto luck has landed in the Bay of Plenty, with three local players among 15 nationwide winners to strike it lucky in Saturday night’s live draw.

Bay of Plenty tickets sold through MyLotto in Tauranga (two winners) and Kawerau (one winner) each secured a share of Lotto second division, taking home $18,258 apiece.

Across the country, a total of 15 players won Lotto second division, with tickets sold in locations including Kerikeri, Auckland, Waiuku, Napier, Hastings, Christchurch, Darfield and Dunedin.

Lotto New Zealand is reminding anyone who bought a ticket for the draw to check their ticket as soon as possible, either in-store, via MyLotto.co.nz, or through the MyLotto App, a Lotto statement said.

“Lotto NZ exists to return 100% of its profits back to Kiwi communities, including throughout the Bay of Plenty, via lottery grants programmes managed by Te Puna Tahua NZ Lottery Grants Board.”
