Canterbury Lotto player wins $1 million

Sunday, 21 June 2026

Saturday night’s Lotto draw has created a new $1 million winner from Canterbury.

A lucky Canterbury Lotto player has woken up $1 million richer after striking Lotto First Division in Saturday’s live draw.

The winning ticket was purchased on MyLotto, meaning the winner can claim their prize online at their convenience.

Meanwhile, a Gisborne Strike player is also celebrating after winning $400,000 with Strike Four from a MyLotto ticket.

Anyone who purchased their Lotto ticket on MyLotto is urged to check their ticket immediately through the app or website.

The Powerball jackpot wasn’t struck in the same draw and has rolled over to Wednesday, where it will reach $12 million — a significant prize for mid-week players.

The win comes after an anonymous Ashburton family won $28.6 million two weeks ago, fulfilling a long-held dream of buying a home.
