Lotto/Delivered
Two Lotto winners shared $1 million on Saturday night.
Two Lotto players from Taranaki and Otago each won $500,000 in Saturday night’s Strike Must Be Won draw.
The winning Strike Four tickets were sold at Western Heights Foodmarket in Rotorua and Paper Plus Hastings in Hastings.
Lotto asks everyone who bought their ticket in those shops to check it in the shop or on MyLotto as soon as possible.
Ten other players will also enjoy a decent prize after winning $23,896 each in the Second Division draw. The winners come from Auckland, Hamilton, Canterbury, Dunedin and Ruakaka.

Earlier this week, a retired couple in Porirua were crawling into bed when they saw they had won $7 million in Powerball.
The couple bought the lottery ticket on MyLotto and the woman decided to watch the draw on Wednesday evening after receiving an email reminder.
“I saw the numbers lined up one by one, and as they all circled, I thought, ‘oh, that’s good,'” she said. “When it got to six figures I couldn’t believe it – and when the Powerball number lined up I was speechless!”
Powerball was not hit on Saturday and has been pushed to Wednesday night, where the jackpot will be $5 million.
