$2 Million Up For Grabs As Lotto Jackpots
Lotto, Powerball and Strike have all jackpotted on tonight's Lotto draw, says NZ Lotteries Chief Executive Todd McLeay.
"Next Saturday's draw will be a huge one with Lotto an estimated $2 million, Lotto Powerball an estimated $4 million, and Strike 4 an estimated $200,000. That is a total of $6.2 million up for grabs on Saturday, 22 July," says Mr McLeay.
A big winner from tonight's draw was Masterton's Peter Goldup who spun and won a $50,000 Shopping Spree live on Lotto's Winning Wheel. A bonus present for Mr Goldup who celebrated his birthday today.
This week's Winning Wheel ticket was sold at Ashburton New World. The serial number is 317-19664391-20XX.
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.
"Anyone who bought their ticket from Ashburton New World should check it immediately," Mr McLeay says.
