More than $20 million dollars is still waiting to be collected by a Big Wednesday first division winner.

The jackpot was won by a lucky punter who bought the winning ticket at the Pukekohe Countdown supermarket in South Auckland.

The $20.2 million prize was fourth largest prize won by an individual ticket.

But a Lotto NZ spokeswoman said today that nobody had yet come forward to claim the fortune.

"We're still waiting."

The ticket-holder won $20,048,756 with Big Wednesday first division and $197,319 with Big Wednesday second division.

This is the third time this year that the Big Wednesday jackpot has been struck.

In February, a Kaikoura couple took home $8.5 million and in April a winner in Takaka won $7 million.

Lotto encouraged anyone who bought their Big Wednesday ticket from Countdown Pukekohe South to check it immediately at any Lotto outlet or online.
