Two Lotto players from Tauranga and Auckland will be popping the champagne after each winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division in tonight's live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold at Bureta Superette in Tauranga and Countdown Westgate in Auckland.

Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $5 million.

Strike Four was also won tonight by a player from Christchurch who took home $200,000. The winning Strike ticket was sold on MyLotto.

Anyone who bought their ticket from either the above winning stores should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it at any Lotto NZ outlet, online at mylotto.co.nz or through the Lotto NZ App.
