Auckland Powerball Player Wins $17 Million
7 September 2024
A lucky Powerball player from Auckland will be pinching themselves after winning $17.07 million with Powerball First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw. The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Auckland.
The prize is made up of $17 million from Powerball First Division and $71,429 from Lotto First Division.
Tonight’s winner is the fifteenth Powerball multi-millionaire of 2024, and the win comes just a month after a lucky Auckland family scored themselves a life-changing $44.67 million – the largest ever prize in Lotto NZ history. The family are taking some time to let the enormity of their win sink in but are looking forward to buying a house and going on a family holiday.
Thirteen other lucky Lotto players will also be celebrating after winning $71,429 with Lotto First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw. The winning tickets were sold at New World Waikanae in Waikanae, Arrowtown Night ‘n Day in Arrowtown, and on MyLotto to players from Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Wellington.
The winning doesn’t stop there! Lotto NZ’s Father’s Triple Dip promotion was also drawn tonight, and 100 extra prizes of $10,000 cash were up for grabs. The results of Lotto NZ’s Father’s Day Triple Dip promotion are available online at mylotto.co.nz.
Meanwhile, Strike Four has rolled over tonight and will be $1.1 million on Wednesday night.
Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLottoApp.
