A person from Whakatāne has won $1 million in Lotto First Division on Saturday.

It’s been a good few weeks for Lotto players across the motu.

A Hamilton couple were in “total shock” after winning $10.5 million in the draw on February 22.

The couple bought their ticket on MyLotto and only collected their Powerball winnings a week after the lucky numbers were released.

And at the start of February an Aucklander won $8.5 million thanks to Powerball.
