Waikato Lotto players are in the money after the weekend’s draw.
Two Hamilton players are second division Lotto winners.
A ticket sold at Woolworths Dinsdale has won its holder $19,356, while a ticket bought online via MyLotto was a second division Powerball winner, taking the prizeto $24,870.
The other second division winners were from Kumeū, Auckland, Tauranga, Waitara, New Plymouth, Napier, Hastings, Palmerston North, Waimate, Ōamaru and Balclutha. The Waitara and Hastings tickets were also Powerball winners.
Meanwhile, four players from Auckland, Wellington and Canterbury each won $250,000 with first division Lotto in Saturday’s draw.
Earlier last week a Hamilton player was among seven people whose lives changed when they each won $7.18 million with Powerball in Lotto NZ’s $50 million Must Be Won draw.
The Hamilton winner said he would only buy a ticket when the Powerball jackpot hit $10 million. So, when he saw last Sunday that his local store had sold one of the winning tickets, he quickly checked his.
“When they showed me the amount all I could say was ‘nah, surely not?!’”
He said winning wasn’t going to change who he was but admitted “it’s going to make life so much easier.”
