Nine Lotto players from around the country including Invercargill are celebrating after each securing $23,840 with Lotto Second Division in tonight’s live draw. The latest round of winners adds fresh excitement for players, particularly in Invercargill, which has recently enjoyed a strong run of luck.
The Second Division prizes were confirmed following the televised draw, with the nine successful ticket holders each taking home the same amount. While Lotto’s top prize often draws the most attention, a Second Division win can still make a significant difference for those holding the winning numbers.
For Invercargill, this latest success follows last Saturday’s $500,000 win by a local player who bought their ticket through the MyLotto app. That major prize brought renewed focus to the southern city and highlighted the growing popularity of online entries.
Meanwhile, Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will climb to $10 million. Strike Four has also rolled over tonight and will be worth $400,000 on Saturday night, adding further anticipation ahead of the weekend draw.
Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto App. Players are reminded to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place before claiming any prize. Online winners will be notified directly through their registered MyLotto account.
