A Powerball player from Auckland is celebrating after winning an impressive $30.2 million in tonight’s Lotto draw. The winning ticket, sold at Albany Central Superette, was made up of $30 million from Powerball First Division and $200,000 from Lotto First Division.
The Auckland winner is now the seventeenth Powerball multi-millionaire of 2024. This win follows a $4.3 million prize won by a young couple from Hibiscus Coast in September.
