A Christchurch Lotto player has won a share of First Division in tonight’s live draw.

The lucky ticket, purchased on MyLotto, was one of three winners who each took home $333,333.

The other winning tickets were sold in Auckland and Central Otago.

While those players are celebrating tonight, attention now turns to this weekend’s Powerball draw, which has rolled over and will be a Must Be Won jackpot of $10 million on Saturday.

Lotto New Zealand said the special draw is being held ahead of a major technology upgrade happening later this month.

Strike Four has also rolled over and will be worth $400,000 on Saturday.

Lotto New Zealand is urging anyone who bought their ticket on MyLotto to check it as soon as possible, either online or through the MyLotto app.
