A lucky Lotto player from Christchurch will be toasting a special win after winning $1 million with Lotto First Division in tonight's live Lotto draw. The winning ticket was sold at New Brighton Lotto & Discounter.
Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $12 million.
Strike Four also rolled over tonight and will be $1.5 million on Saturday, 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 a winner.
Anyone who bought their ticket from New Brighton Lotto & Discounter should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto App.
