New Zealand’s newest multi-millionaire has claimed their prize – a jaw-dropping $20.25 million – following Saturday night’s Powerball draw.
Lotto NZ confirmed to 1News that the lucky winner claimed their life-changing prize on Monday. The winning ticket was purchased via MyLotto by someone in Christchurch.
The numbers were 19, 21, 11, 35, 6 and 33. The bonus ball was 27 and the Powerball was 3.
The Powerball prize was $20 million, while the winnings included a quarter share of Lotto First Division at $250,000.
Three other players would also be celebrating after winning $250,000 apiece with Lotto First Division. The winning tickets were sold at Woolworths Mt Eden in Auckland and on MyLotto to players in Taupō and Waikato.
Saturday’s winner is the 13th Powerball multi-millionaire this year.
The biggest win of the year so far remains the $23.3m prize won on April 23, which was won by a MyLotto ticket in the upper North Island.
