Two Christchurch players who bought their winning tickets from the Hornby Mall Lotto store and Laxmi Foodstore on Pages Rd, Wainoni, won $24,952 each.
The third Cantabrian bought their winning ticket online from MyLotto.
Six players also each won $166,667 with Lotto First Division.
A player from Hastings also won $79,461 with Powerball Second Division.
But the Lotto Powerball jackpot was not won and has rolled over to $50 million which must be won on Saturday. It will equal New Zealand's highest-ever jackpot.
“Under Lotto NZ game rules, if the jackpot reaches $50m it can’t roll over and a must-be-won draw must be held on the next draw date,” Lotto said.
Wednesday’s numbers were: 13, 15, 22, 23, 33 and 2. The Bonus Ball was 32, and the Power Ball was 3.
