A Pak'nSave Invercargill ticket is worth $35,600 after Saturday night's Lotto draw — the second winning ticket sold in the city in less than a week.
The Second Division win on Saturday October 3 follows Four Square Otatara selling one of two First Division tickets in Wednesday night's draw, netting a local player $500,000.
Eight players nationally shared Saturday's Second Division prize of $35,600 each with Invercargill's Pak'n Save selling the winning ticket. The other tickets came from Wellsford, Auckland (three via MyLotto), Wairoa, Porirua, and Christchurch.
The big money from Saturday's draw went north. One player took home $15.3 million in Powerball First Division — a MyLotto ticket sold to an Auckland player. That prize is made up of $15 million from Powerball and $333,333 from Lotto First Division. Two other Lotto First Division tickets, each worth $333,333, were also sold online: one to an Auckland player, one to a player in Christchurch.
Strike Four produced a $200,000 winner, sold at Woolworths Rangiora East.
Back to Wednesday's draw, which had more drama. The other $500,000 First Division ticket alongside Otatara's winner was sold online through MyLotto to a player in Marlborough — two winners, same prize, different ends of the country. Wednesday also produced a Strike Four winner of $700,000, sold via MyLotto to a Hamilton player.
Anyone who bought a ticket from any of the winning stores should check it as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto app.
Saturday's draw was also the first day of Lotto New Zealand's Power into Summer promotion. All Triple Dip tickets bought between Sunday October 4 and 7.30pm Saturday October 17 are in the draw for an extra 100 prizes of $20,000 each.
Saturday's Powerball win was the 18th of 2026. The year's biggest single prize remains a $28.6 million win in June, sold at Four Square Netherby in Ashburton.
