Northland riding lucky Lotto wave in 2021

Northland is having a run of Lotto luck in 2021, with a Powerball First Division winner, two Lotto First Division winners and 26 Lotto Second Division winners so far this year.

Northland is on a Lotto winning streak with a Powerball First Division winner, two Lotto First Division winners and 26 Lotto Second Division winners already this year.

Twelve of the Second Division wins have been in the past two months - an unprecedented winning run for the region - including three in one draw.

Figures released by Lotto NZ up until the end of May show just how lucky the region's Lotto players have been so far in 2021.

One lucky Northland player won big with Powerball First Division in March, taking home a $4.25 million prize. The winning ticket was bought online at MyLotto.

Two Northland players have won Lotto First Division prizes so far this year - a MyLotto player from Whangārei won $333,333 with Lotto First Division in March and Corner Cardz N Magz in Whangārei sold a $250,000 Lotto First Division winning ticket in April.

A total of 26 Lotto Second Division prizes have been won in Northland so far this year – including two lucky players who also took home a win with Powerball Second Division.

A Lotto spokesperson said it was an amazing run of wins.

Waipapa Dairy has had a particular run of luck, selling three Lotto Second Division winning tickets in 2021 to date.
