A Canterbury Lotto player has won $333,333 in Wednesday night’s draw, while a ticket sold in Christchurch has picked up $28,081.

The Canterbury player bought their winning First Division ticket through MyLotto and was one of three winners sharing the division’s $1 million prize pool.

The other two winning tickets were sold at Pak’nSave Sylvia Park and FreshChoice Māngere Bridge in Auckland.

New World Wigram sold one of eight tickets nationally to win $28,081 in Lotto Second Division. Another was sold at Woolworths Greymouth on the West Coast.

Powerball was not struck in the 11 November draw and will jackpot to $15 million on Saturday. Strike Four also rolled over and will be worth $1 million.

Lotto NZ encouraged anyone who bought a ticket from a winning store to check it as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto or through the MyLotto app.
