Christchurch Powerball Player Scores $7.5 million WIn

A lucky Powerball player from Christchurch will be popping the champagne after scoring themselves $7.5 million with Powerball First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.

Tonight’s win follows the largest Powerball jackpot in Lotto NZ history, the $50 million Must Be Won just over two weeks ago. A mother from the Hawke’s Bay and a young Auckland family shared the record jackpot, each taking home a massive $25.1 million.

One other Lotto player from New Plymouth will also be celebrating after winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division tonight. The winning Lotto ticket was sold at New World New Plymouth.

Meanwhile Strike Four rolled over tonight and will be $800,000 on Wednesday night.
