They are among 24 people across the country who hit Satrurday night’s jackpot.

One of the tickets was sold in Rotorua’s Lucky Lotto Shop - a shop living up to its name.

Another lucky winner was from Rotorua alongside someone from Tauranga. They won through the MyLotto app.

People can check their tickets in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto App.

Three lucky players also won Powerball Second Division, taking their total winnings to $26,522.

The winning Powerball Second Division tickets were sold at New World Broadway in Palmerston North, Balclutha Bookshop in Balclutha, and on MyLotto to a player from Auckland.

There were 75 extra prizes of $10,000 cash up for grabs with Lotto NZ’s Mother’s Day promotion.
