This means that within the same week, two players were graced by Lady Luck with life-changing sums of cash!

Would you sip cocktails on a tropical beach or take on thrilling adventures around New Zealand? The possibilities are endless!

Interesting fact: Did you know that in 2022, the Lotto had no $30 million winners, topping the unprecedented nature of the recent wins? Also, the largest recorded Lotto jackpot in New Zealand history soared to an impressive $42 million, captivating the imagination of many lotto players!
