Whilst New Zealand celebrates the gold medals won in London, two Lotto players will have their own winning feeling after scoring a $500,000 First Division prize, says NZ Lotteries’ Chief Executive Wayne Pickup.

The two tickets were sold at Melody’s New World in Palmerston North and at Mobil Mt Albert in Auckland.

Powerball First Division has jackpotted and will be worth an estimated $7 million next week.

A Strike Four prize of $158,066 was won by a player who bought a ticket from Relay at Auckland Airport.

Meanwhile, Hongkham from Auckland spun and won a fantastic $200,000 on the Winning Wheel.

All Lotto players are automatically in the draw to win the opportunity to spin Lotto’s Winning Wheel, regardless of the type of ticket they buy.
