This evening’s $5 million Lotto Powerball was not struck and will now roll over for Saturday’s draw.
The lucky numbers were 27, 15, 22, 8, 18 and 4. The Bonus Ball was 3 and the Powerball was 6.
Tonight’s combined prize pool was $6.2m – $5m for Powerball First Division, $1m for First Division and $200,000 for Strike Four.
Two players have split the $1m First Division prize, each taking home $500,000.
Another two players have also won $100,000 after splitting tonight’s Strike Four draw.
Tonight’s draw comes more than a month after a record-breaking $55m Lotto jackpot was split between three players.
The winners each took home $18.3m.
One of the tickets was sold at New World Kawerau and its owner, Clare Gallagher, said the town’s residents were “really excited about some great news for Kawerau”.
The other two winning tickets were sold at Pak’nSave Moorhouse in Christchurch and through the MyLotto app to an Auckland punter.
