A Northlander has become an instant multi-millionaire after winning $4.2 million with Lotto and Powerball First Division on Wednesday night.
The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Northland and is made up of $4 million from Powerball First Division and $250,000 from Lotto First Division.
The win comes just four days after a lucky player from Christchurch won themselves $5.2 million with Powerball First Division. Saturday's winning Powerball ticket was sold at Hornby Mall Lotto and remains unclaimed.
"Powerball is definitely on a winning streak and (this) win takes us to 12 millionaires in the first 12 weeks of 2021 – and eight of those lucky winners scored big with Powerball," Kirsten Robinson, Senior Corporate Communications Manager at Lotto NZ said.
"We're looking forward to celebrating with our latest multi-millionaires, so don't forget to check your tickets – the winner's room is waiting and the champagne is on ice."
