A lucky Lotto player from Feilding is waking up to a $7.2 million boost to their bank account this morning.
The happy punter won the Powerball draw last night, becoming an instant millionaire, and pocketing the cash - made up of $7 million first division and $200,000 second division prizes.
They bought their winning ticket at Feilding Video Centre in Feilding.
The Powerball prize comes less than two weeks after a south Auckland man scooped a $20.2 million Big Wednesday jackpot.
One month ago a Lotto Powerball player in Blenheim won $4.5 million, and a week before that a player from Christchurch quit his job after winning a massive $14.3 million with a ticket purchased in Ashburton.
