Two lucky players bagged $200,000 each after striking Strike Four in Saturday night’s live draw.
The winning tickets were sold at Pak’nSave Westgate in Auckland and Four Square & Lotto Martina in Thames.
The King’s Birthday weekend will also be one to remember for seven Lotto players across the country, who each walked away with $142,857 after sharing Lotto First Division.
The winning tickets were sold at Borman Rd Superette in Hamilton, Four Square Awapuni in Palmerston North, New World Stokes Valley in Lower Hutt, Pak’nSave Riccarton in Christchurch, New World Timaru in Timaru, and on MyLotto to two Auckland players.
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.
