Strike Four has also jackpotted and will be worth $200,000 in next Saturday's draw.
Tonight's other big winners were Helen and Brian Skinner from Christchurch who won $150,000 on Lotto's 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. Players can check their ticket at any lottery outlet.
