Ten players won almost $33,000 each in last night’s second-division Lotto draw.
The numbers in the draw were 2, 16, 6, 22, 11 and 34. The bonus ball was 8 and the Powerball was 4.
One ticket was sold to a player from the Far North, four from Auckland, onefrom Bay of Plenty, one from the Tairāwhiti region, one from Manawatū-Whanganui, one from Wellington and one from Wānaka.
One lucky player also won Powerball Second Division, taking their total winnings to $55,507.
It came on the same day as New Zealand mourned the death of former co-host Marise Wipani.
Lotto host Sonia Gray last night paid tribute before the draw to remember Wipani.
“Before we begin, we’d like to take a moment to remember the wonderful Marise Wipani, a former presenter here on Lotto. Our love and thoughts are with her whānau at this time.”
