Two lucky Lotto ticket holders from Te Kuiti and Christchurch will collect $500,000 each after the first spring draw for the year.
The winners' half-a-million dollar tickets were sold at Wainoni Pak 'n Save & Lotto in Christchurch.
Two players who bought tickets from Paper Plus Central in Rotorua won $150,000.
Lotto's Father's Day promotion was drawn with 30 extra prizes snapped up by players across the country.
Prizes included 20 lots of $10,000 and 10 Ford Rangers. Winning tickets were bought from Lincoln Heights Superette in Auckland.
Despite the wins for Saturday's draw, the Powerball jackpot has gone up to $22 million for the Wednesday draw after no-one guessed the Powerball draw number, four.
Anyone who bought a ticket from any of the mentioned Lotto Shops should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it immediately at any Lotto outlet.
