Thirty-nine New Zealanders are each $16,029 richer after winning Saturday night’s Lotto Second Division draw.
The winning numbers were 13, 24, 28, 4, 22 and 2, the bonus ball was 35 and the Powerball was 8.
In the North Island, two winning tickets were sold to players from Northland, 14to players from Auckland, one to a player from Coromandel, one to a player from the Bay of Plenty, three to players from Waikato, one to a player from Gisborne, one to a player from New Plymouth, two from the Hawke’s Bay, four from the Manawatū region and two from the Wellington region.
In the South Island, one winning ticket was sold to a player from Nelson.
Strike Four – a $200,000 prize – was split by two Auckland players and a Canterbury punter. Their tickets were sold at Pak’nSave Papakura, Fresh Choice Leeston and through MyLotto.
Powerball still hasn’t been struck, so the jackpot will balloon to a rare $45 million ahead of the next live draw on Wednesday.
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 must complete an online prize form.
Winners with a physical ticket must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.
