New Plymouth Powerball Player Wins $23.3 Million

A lucky Powerball player from New Plymouth will be over the moon after winning $23.3 million with Powerball First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.

The winning ticket was sold at Woolworths Spotswood to a player from New Plymouth.

The prize is made up of $23 million from Powerball First Division and $333,333 from Lotto First Division.

Tonight’s winner is the twentieth Powerball multi-millionaire of 2024, and the win comes after two winners from Pōkeno and Tauranga scored themselves a sweet $5.25 million each in November. Both winners are looking forward to buying their first homes.

Two other lucky Lotto players will also be celebrating after winning $333,333 with Lotto First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw. The winning tickets were sold at Woolworths Eastgate in Christchurch and Pak n Save Papamoa in Papamoa.

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.

Players can phone Lotto NZ on 0800 695 6886 if they want to enquire about the best way to claim a prize.

Lotto NZ’s Christmas promotion is now on, and this year is our biggest Christmas ever, with $6 million in extra prizes to be won.

There’s one prize of $1 million and 100 prizes of $50,000 up for grabs and all Triple Dip tickets bought between Sunday 8 December and 7.30pm Saturday 28 December will be in the draw with a chance to win.
