Two lucky Lotto players from Dunedin and Balclutha will be feeling on top of the world after each winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold at New World Balclutha and on MyLotto to a player from Dunedin.

Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $12 million.

Strike Four has also rolled over tonight and will be $1 million on Saturday night, 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 World Balclutha or on MyLotto should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLottoApp.
