An Invercargill Lotto player is celebrating tonight after winning Second Division in the live Saturday draw — the third Southland win in just a few weeks.
The lucky player, who purchased their ticket through the MyLotto app, takes home $29,643, sharing the prize with eight other Second Division winners across the country.
It continues a remarkable run of Lotto luck for the region. On Saturday 18 April, an Otautau player was among eight winners nationally who each pocketed $29,497 — their winning ticket purchased from Fresh Choice Otautau. Then on Wednesday 22 April, an Invercargill player won $19,810 after buying their ticket from Four Square Newfield.
Three Second Division wins for Invercargill and Southland in under a month is no small feat, and tonight's MyLotto winner adds another chapter to the region's lucky streak.
If you purchased a Lotto ticket tonight, check your numbers in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto app — you never know.
