A Mount Maunganui punter will no doubt be popping the champagne after winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division.

The winner was one of two players to win in Saturday night's live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold at Bayfair Lotto in Mount Maunganui and Alexandra New World in Alexandra.

Powerball was not struck and has rolled over to Wednesday night, where the jackpot will be $9 million.

Meanwhile, Strike Four also rolled over and will be $200,000 this Wednesday.

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