Strike Four also rolled over tonight and will be $400,000 on Wednesday\u2019s draw.<\/p>\n

One lucky winner won $200,000 in Wednesday\u2019s Strike, while there were no winners of the Division 1, $12m Lotto Powerball or standard Division 1 Lotto $1m jackpot.<\/p>\n

One lucky player took home $28.6m after winning Powerball and three shares of Lotto first division on June 3.<\/p>\n

The winning ticket was sold in the mid Canterbury town of Ashburton, putting it at the centre of one of the country\u2019s biggest lottery wins<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

Three days later a lucky Coromandel couple won $4.5m in what they\u2019ve described as a \u201clife-changing, mind-blowing\u201d moment.<\/a><\/p>\n

What to do if you win<\/p>\n

Ticket holders can immediately see if they have won<\/a> if they purchased a ticket through the MyLotto app. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account.<\/p>\n

For prizes exceeding $1000, winners must complete an online prize claim form.<\/p>\n

Winners with physical tickets must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.<\/p>\n

For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the added Powerball number.<\/p>\n
