One lucky person who purchased a Lotto ticket in Omokoroa is more than $150,000 richer this weekend.

Six Lotto players have shared the $1 million Lotto jackpot to take home $166,667 each after winning Lotto First Division in Saturday's live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold at Omokoroa Beach Store in Omokoroa, Victoria Station in Cambridge, Pak'nSave Whangarei (x2), Magazine City and Lotto in Auckland, and on MyLotto to a player from Auckland.

Powerball was not struck and has rolled over to Wednesday night, where the jackpot will be $8 million.

Meanwhile, Strike Four also rolled over on Saturday and will be $500,000 on Wednesday.
