Invercargill Powerball player wins $17.25 million

A lucky Powerball player from Invercargill will be popping the champagne after winning $17.25 million with Powerball First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.

The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Invercargill.

The prize is made up of $17 million from Powerball First Division and $250,000 from Lotto First Division.

Tonight’s winner is the seventh Powerball multi-millionaire of 2023, and the win comes weeks after a $7 million Powerball prize was won by a couple from Porirua. The retired couple are looking forward to helping family with their win.

Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores or on MyLotto should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLottoApp.
