Christmas has come early for a lucky Powerball player from Southland after winning $6.3 million with Powerball First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.
The $6.3 million prize is made up of $6 million from Powerball First Division and $333,333 from Lotto First Division.
The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Southland.
Tonight’s winner is the nineteenth Powerball multi-millionaire of 2022, and the win comes just over a week after a $5.5 million Powerball prize was won by a Whakatāne couple. The $5.5 million winners are looking forward to helping others with their win and treating themselves to a holiday.
A lucky Strike player from Rotorua will also be celebrating after winning $1 million in tonight’s Strike Must Be Won draw.
The winning Strike ticket was sold at Paper Plus Rotorua Central in Rotorua.
Rounding out tonight’s winners are two other Lotto players who each won $333,333 with Lotto First Division. The winning tickets were sold at Richmond Night N Day in Nelson and New World Lincoln in Lincoln.
Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores or on MyLotto should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the Lotto NZ App.
