Nobody won the $20m Lotto powerball prize on Saturday night – but one lucky player did scoop a $1m first division prize.
The winning ticket was sold at Greenmeadows New World in Napier.
Powerball was not struck and will roll over to Wednesday, where it will reach $23m.
The winning Lotto numbers were: 38, 9, 3, 37, 34 and 12. The bonus ball is 18, and the powerball is 2.
Earlier, Lotto tickets were flying out of shops as people tested their luck.

At Miramar Gifts and Lotto in Wellington, a worker said the shop has been busier than usual, selling tickets to their regulars and to new faces on Saturday.
The biggest Powerball Lotto win in New Zealand history was $44m back in November 2016.
A couple from the Hibiscus Coast who had young children claimed the prize. At the time they said they had been struggling to get on the property ladder.
Their lucky ticket was bought from Auckland’s Dairy Flat Foodmart and Liquor.
In October 2021 a player in Pokeno won $42m.
In February 2020, Lotto Powerball rose to $50m and was a ‘must be won’ draw. This was split by two players who each took home $25m.
