As there were no First Division winners, the entire $15 million jackpot rolled down to the Third Division, which was the next highest division with winners.

“We’ve never had this many winners of a First Division jackpot before,” said Emilia Mazur, Lotto NZ’s GM Corporate Communications.

“There’s a real buzz in the air today with everyone heading in-store to collect their prizes.”

Big Wednesday has finished to make way for Lotto, Powerball and Strike to be played on Wednesday as well as Saturday from next Wednesday, 7 October.

Lotto NZ’s advice for all of this week’s Big Wednesday winners is to write their name and address on the back of their ticket and confirm their win at their local Lotto store.
