Two lucky Lotto players from Auckland and Bay of Plenty will be ending the month on a high after each winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division in Wednesday night's live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold at New World Milford in Auckland and on MyLotto to a player from Bay of Plenty.

Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Saturday night, where the jackpot will be $10 million, says a Lotto spokesperson.

"Strike has also rolled over and will be $700,000 on Saturday night.

"Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above winning stores should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, online at mylotto.co.nz, or through the Lotto NZ App."

Lotto New Zealand's Father's Day promotion is now on. All Lotto Triple Dip tickets bought between Sunday, August 21, and 7.30pm Saturday, September 3, will be in the draw to win over 80 extra prizes, including Dad's Dream Boat - a Rayglass Legend 2800 and 80 prizes of $5000 cash.
