An Invercargill Lotto ticket holder has won $250,000, after winning First Division in tonight's live Lotto draw.

The Invercargill ticket was sold at Collingwood Foodcentre.

They share the win with four other First Division winners who came from Hamilton, Carterton and Lower Hutt.

Tonight's Powerball however was not struck and now rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $40 million.

Lotto NZ Head of Corporate Communications, Will Hine said Powerball will now be an epic $40 million on Saturday

"It’s now the highest it’s been since August last year when an Auckland family scored themselves $44.67 million – the biggest ever Powerball prize won on a single ticket.”

“High jackpots are exciting, and we know New Zealanders all around the country will be dreaming about what they would do if they won $40 million this weekend.”

“We’re encouraging our players to remember that big jackpots still have small odds, and one ticket is enough to be in the draw.”

“Stores will be busy on Saturday afternoon, and MyLotto in the evening, so it’s best to avoid those times and get your ticket early,” he says.

Strike Four was also won tonight by a lucky player from Auckland, who takes home $200,000.

Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores or on MyLotto should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto App.
