A total of 118 Lotto players are sharing the spoils after Saturday night’s ‘must be won’ $1.5 million Strike prize was split among multiple winners.
Each of the 118 players will receive $13,457 after no single ticket claimed the full Strike prize. The winning Lotto numbers were 22, 31, 33, 23, 11 and 36, with the bonus ball 24 and Powerball number 9, as reported by Stuff.
The $4 million Powerball jackpot was not won, pushing Wednesday night’s prize pool up to $5 million.
Despite the rollover, three players secured $333,000 each in Lotto First Division. The winning tickets were purchased at Whitcoulls New Plymouth, Miramar Lotto and Gift Shop in Wellington, and Pak’nSave Moorhouse in Christchurch, Stuff has reported.
The latest draw follows recent big wins, including a $10.2 million Powerball First Division prize claimed by a player from the Manawatū-Whanganui district on Wednesday and a $5.5 million win by an Auckland player in December, Stuff has reported.
