Five players from Auckland, New Plymouth, Napier and Christchurch have pocketed $200,000 with Lotto first division in Saturday night's draw.
The winning tickets were sold at Pak'N'Save Henderson in Auckland, Pak'N'Save Mangere in Auckland, New World Greenmeadows in Napier, and on MyLotto to players from New Plymouth and Christchurch.
Meanwhile, 22 players won $28,589 with Lotto second division in the draw. They were from Matakana, Auckland, Mount Maunganui, Hamilton, Hawke's Bay, Whanganui, Wellington, Nelson, Blenheim, Christchurch, Otago and Queenstown.
Strike Four was also won by two players from Thames and Tauranga, who each claimed $200,000.
The winning Strike tickets were sold at Martina Four Square and Lotto in Thames and on MyLotto to a player from Tauranga.
Lotto NZ advised anyone who bought their ticket from the named stores to check their ticket as soon as possible.
However, the big prize - Lotto's Powerball - wasn't struck on Saturday night.
That means the whopping jackpot has ballooned to $43 million in Wednesday night's draw.
"At all times, Lotto NZ encourages our customers to play a little, dream a lot. We know high jackpots can be exciting but remember - it takes only one ticket to win," Lotto NZ said in a statement.
"High jackpots are exciting, and we know Kiwis all around the country will be dreaming about what they would do if they won $43 million with Powerball on Wednesday," Lotto NZ's head of corporate communications Lucy Fullarton added.
"As the jackpot climbs, there is more demand for our games. We know stores will be busy from around 5pm on Wednesday, and lots of people will also be jumping online to grab their ticket in the hour before sales close at 7:30pm. Our advice is to get in early and avoid the rush."
While no one won Saturday's $38 million Powerball prize, three lucky players claimed Powerball second division, taking their total winnings to $43,779.
These winning tickets were sold via MyLotto to players from Auckland, Whanganui and Otago.
