Two lucky players from Auckland also won Powerball Second Division, taking their total winnings to $31,995.

The eight winners got their tickets from stores in Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Otorohanga, Dunedin, Twizel and online.

Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it immediately at any Lotto outlet.
