Auckland Lotto player wins $4.3 million Powerball jackpot

A Lotto player in Auckland has become $4.3 million richer after taking out Saturday’s Powerball and First Division prizes.

The winning Powerball ticket was purchased online on MyLotto.

it is the second time in four days that Powerball has been struck with another Auckland player winning the $23.5m jackpot last Wednesday.

Saturday’s sizeable winnings include $4m from Powerball, and a one-third share of Division One’s $1m.

Two other players, from Auckland and Manawatū, won $333,333 each from the First Division draw.

One of these tickets was bought by a MyLotto player and the other at Foxton Beach Four Square in the Manawatū-Whanganui region.

Saturday’s Lotto numbers were: 37, 35, 28, 4, 40, 19, bonus number 30 and Powerball number 7.

Nobody won Strike Four, so it jackpots to $300,000 for Wednesday night’s draw.
