The Hawke's Bay woman won the prize on Saturday.
A Hawke's Bay woman celebrating her birthday danced around the room with her family and close friend after realising she had won a $1 million in Lotto First Division.
The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, said Saturday night had "truly been a birthday I'll never forget".
"We'd just
returned from a special birthday dinner on Saturday evening when I decided I might as well pop onto the Lotto NZ App and check my bonus ticket," she said.
"I really started to pay attention to what was happening when I saw I had three numbers on one line and then a fourth number and then a fifth.
"I just stared at my phone thinking there was absolutely no way I could get the sixth number… and then there it was."
