West Coast Lotto Ticket Wins $500,000

Two Lotto players from Taupo and the West Coast will be popping the champagne after each winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold at Pak N Save Taupo in Taupo and on MyLotto to a player from the West Coast.

Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Wednesday night, where the jackpot will be $16 million.

Strike Four has also rolled over tonight and will be $700,000 on Wednesday night, meaning it will be a Must Be Won draw. In a Strike Must Be Won draw, if no single ticket wins First Division, the prize pool is added to the next highest division with winners.

Lotto New Zealand’s Mother’s Day promotion is now underway. All Lotto Triple Dip tickets bought between Sunday 29 April and 7.30pm on Saturday 12 May are in the draw to win 50 extra prizes, including 5x Mercedes-Benz A-Class, 5x $20,000 travel prizes, 20x $10,000 shopping prizes and 20x prizes of $10,000 cash.

Anyone who bought their ticket from the above store should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it immediately at any Lotto outlet, online at MyLotto.co.nz or through the Lotto NZ App.
