Wanting a big win on Lotto?
You might be better off trying your luck in Central Hawke's Bay rather than the Tararua.
According to Lotto New Zealand, the Tararua District is near the bottom of the list of lucky Lotto regions with the amounts won around $65 per capita.
CentralHawke's Bay, however, is near the top of the list at around $273 per capita.
A Lotto NZ spokesperson says coincidentally the luckiest retail store of all time, based on first division winners, is Unichem Stortford Lodge Pharmacy in Hastings.
