Meanwhile, sixteen Lotto players each scooped $21,503 in Saturday’s Lotto Second Division draw.
Nine of the winning Second Division tickets were sold in Auckland, including four on MyLotto.
The remaining seven were sold in Morrinsville, Tauranga, Whakat?ne, H?wera, Dannevirke, Kaiapoi and Waimate.
What to do if you win
Ticket holders can immediately see if they have won if they purchased a ticket through the MyLotto app. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account.
For prizes exceeding $1000, winners must complete an online prize claim form.
Winners with physical tickets must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.
For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the added Powerball number.
