Last September $8.1 million was won at one of the "luckiest" Lotto outlets in the country. Unichem Stortford Lodge has given out $47 million in prize money and won 37 first division tickets, well clear of Nelson's Night 'n Day which sits in second with 29 first division wins.
In at second place for the Bay is Andrew Spence Pharmacy with $32 million worth of prize money won.
A month earlier another half-million was won by a Napier couple, the 12th top prize sold by Andrew Spence Pharmacy.
Earlier in 2015 another $500,000 was pocketed by a Hastings man after buying the winning ticket from the Raureka Lotto and Superette.
In June 2014, a Hastings supermarket sold a $13 million Powerball ticket - it picked up half the $26 million top prize.
