Manukau Player Takes Out Lotto First Division

As a cold snap takes over the country, one lucky Lotto player in Manukau will be flushed with excitement after winning $1 million with Lotto’s First Division, says NZ Lotteries’ Chief Executive Todd McLeay.

The winning Lotto ticket was sold at Manukau Pak N Save in Manukau.

Lotto Powerball has jackpotted this week, and will be worth an estimated $4 million in next Saturday’s draw. Strike Four has also jackpotted to $200,000 next week.

Tonight’s other big winner was Nelson woman, Evelyn Ercerg, who spun and won $150,000 on Lotto’s Winning Wheel live draw tonight.

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. Players can check their ticket at any lottery outlet.

Tonight’s Winning Wheel ticket was sold at Coastlands Lotto in Paraparaumu. The serial number is 503-45187588-20XX.

“Anyone who bought a ticket at any of our winning retailers should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it as soon as possible,” Mr McLeay says.
