Lotto's Second Division is proving to be the winning formula for Greerton Lotto with the store selling its second winning ticket at the weekend.
Greerton Lotto worker Belinda Sands says this is the second week in a row the store has sold a winning Second Division ticket.

The owner of the ticket is one of nine nationwide to walk away with $29,702.
'It's just really exciting for us, getting two in a row,” says Belinda.
Last week the Cameron Road store sold a $14,903 winning ticket in the Second Division of the March 15 draw. The ticketholder was one of 18 nationwide to take out the prize.
And that is not the first time a winning ticket has been sold at the store, with Belinda saying the store has previously sold 14 or 15 winning First Division tickets.
'We are one of the lucky stores. Most of the winning tickets are usually sold to regulars too.”
Belinda says the standout win in her 12 years at the store, is when a young man came in to purchase a ticket for his grandfather, which turned out to be a $1million winner.
'He was waiting in line to buy a ticket and stepped out to donate to the guide dogs at the door, when he came back to the line, he was sold the winning million-dollar ticket. Talk about karma.”
In this week's draw two players also won Powerball Second Division worth $18,917, which brings their total winnings to $48,619. These winning tickets were sold at Kihikihi Bookshop in Te Awamutu and MyLotto.
