Waikato’s Winning Streak: Local Players Celebrate Lotto Success

In a stroke of good fortune, two players from Waikato hit the jackpot during last night’s Lotto draw, joining a total of 17 second division winners who each took home a prize of $12,438. The winners included a participant from MyLotto and another who purchased their ticket at Pak N Save in Taupō.

Auckland Player Strikes $1 Million First Division Win

Alongside the Waikato winners, an Auckland player made headlines by winning $1 million in the first division of Lotto, with the winning ticket bought via MyLotto. However, the Powerball draw did not see a winner, rolling over to Saturday night with an enticing jackpot of $6 million.

Upcoming Prize for Strike Four

The excitement doesn’t stop there; the Strike Four jackpot will also roll over, reaching $400,000 this Saturday. The winning numbers from the recent draw were 12, 16, 32, 34, 36, 39, with Bonus number 3 and Powerball number 1. The Strike numbers were 36, 34, 12, and 32.

Continued Success for Waikato Players

Over the weekends, a Waikato participant who bought their ticket online via MyLotto was one of four first division winners, each capturing a quarter share of the $1 million prize. Additionally, two players from Hamilton were among the 17 second division winners, each winning $15,383. Their winning tickets were purchased at the Glenview Food Centre and Woolworths Te Rapa.

Recent Lotto Highlights

In earlier draws, a ticket purchased at New World Te Kuiti led to one of the 12 second division winners pocketing $17,786. The previous Saturday also saw two Hamilton players successful in the second division, with one ticket from Woolworths Dinsdale earning its holder $19,356 and another purchased online winning $24,870 in second division Powerball.

Major Wins This Month

This month has been particularly generous, as a Waikato player joined the ranks of the millionaires after winning the Lotto Powerball jackpot worth $4.5 million. Additionally, a Hamilton ticket was a part of the significant $50 million must-be-won draw, with seven lucky players each winning a $7.18 million share of the Powerball jackpot. Notably, a ticket from Shop Rite Dairy in Maeroa contributed to these big wins.

As excitement builds for the upcoming draws, players across Waikato and beyond are eager for their chance to strike it lucky. Keep an eye on the Lotto results and be part of the thrill!
