Four people have become Lotto multimillionaires so far in 2025 – the latest being a Waihi player who won $10.5m nearly three weeks ago.
Earlier, on February 8, a player from Hamilton also picked up $10.5m.
On January 8, a Wellington couple pocketed $7m in the first Powerball jackpot of 2025, and on January 22 a Taranaki couple who have played the same Lotto numbers for almost 20 years claimed an $8.3m prize.
What to do if you win
Ticket holders can see immediately if they have won if they purchased a ticket through MyLotto. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account.
For prizes of more than $1000, winners have to fill in an online prize form.
Results are available immediately after the live draws on TVNZ 1, which take place on Wednesday and Saturday nights.
They can also be found through the MyLotto app, online at www.mylotto.co.nz, at Lotto NZ retailers and on nzherald.co.nz.
Winners with a physical ticket must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.
