In other news, there’s still a mystery player out there sitting on a $500,000 First Division prize.

The ticket was bought at Fresh Choice Pāpāmoa in the Bay of Plenty on New Year’s Day, Wednesday 1 January 2025.

Will Hine, Head of Corporate Communications at Lotto NZ, is urging anyone who bought a ticket in Pāpāmoa over the holidays to check their numbers.

“It could be anyone,” says Hine. “It might be a local or someone visiting the area to ring in the New Year.”

“We’re excited to get the winner their prize,” Hine adds. “It’s a substantial amount, and we really want them to claim it soon.”

Hine imagines the winner might be a family enjoying a summer getaway, picking up a ticket while shopping for a BBQ at Fresh Choice.

“We can’t wait to hear their story when they come forward,” says Hine.
