A lotto player wins gold, pocketing a million dollars in the last draw

Lotto First Division was hit by an Ashburton Lotto player who will fall asleep tonight at a million dollars richer.

The winning ticket was sold to My Lotto, but Powerball and Strike Four will return to Saturday night's draw after failing.

Powerball will feature a $ 6 million jackpot and $ 400,000 Strike Four.

Lotto stated that anyone who purchased their ticket from MyLotto should check it immediately online on mylotto.com or via the Lotto NZ App.
