The tickets that won Lotto’s top prize on Saturday night, were sold at New World Kawerau, Pak N Save Moorhouse in Christchurch and online to an Auckland punter.

Three ticket-holders are taking home an $18.3 million share of the historic $55m jackpot, according to Lotto.

The must-be-won draw was the highest ever amount up for grabs on Lotto Powerball.

The winners also get a share of Lotto First Division taking their total prize to $18.5m each.

Meanwhile 15 people shared Lotto First Division, taking home $55,556 and 62 punters won $16,990.

The odds of winning last night’s Powerball First Division prize were one in 38-million.
