However, one lucky Division 2 winner will scoop $83,708. <\/p>\n
A Christchurch player struck it lucky on Wednesday, winning $1m in Lotto First Division.<\/p>\n
Two Rotorua players also shared in the winnings, each scooping $22,861 in Second Division prizes with tickets bought at Western Heights Foodmarket and online via MyLotto. <\/p>\n
The draw comes amid a planned mass upgrade to Lotto NZ\u2019s systems that kicks in from September 29.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis once-in-a-generation project will enable future innovations and improved customer experiences,\u201d Lotto NZ head of corporate communications, Will Hine, said ahead of last week\u2019s draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo support a smooth transition, we\u2019re \u2018clearing the decks\u2019 to reduce system load ahead of the upgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n
A large jackpot puts increased data demand and increased strain on Lotto NZ\u2019s systems and staff at a critical time in their project, he said.<\/p>\n
Tonight\u2019s draw proceeded as normal.<\/p>\n
