What any Lotto player would love to see on their MyLotto account – a big win.

A Bay of Plenty Lotto player is among 11 lucky Kiwis celebrating a significant midweek payday after winning Lotto second division in Wednesday night’s live draw.

The Tauranga-based win came from a ticket sold via MyLotto, with the player set to receive $21,467.

Across the country, 11 players each
secured the same second division prize, sharing winnings totalling more than $236,000, a statement from Lotto said.

One of the winners also struck it lucky with Powerball second division, boosting their total take to $37,060. That ticket was sold at Pak’nSave Tamatea in Napier.

The remaining winning tickets were sold across Auckland, Marlborough, Christchurch, Dunedin, Masterton and Whanganui, with four Second Division wins coming from online MyLotto entries in Auckland alone.
