A Hastings Lotto player is $500,000 richer after splitting Wednesday night's First Division draw.
Two winning tickets were sold, one at Four Square Mahora in Hastings and one via MyLotto to a player from Auckland.
Both players split the $1 million prize money equally.
It follows a recent First Division
win by a Flaxmere player who took home $250,000 earlier this month after purchasing one of four winning tickets at Flaxmere Pharmacy.
Powerball was not struck and has rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $6m.
