The Hawke’s Bay punter’s winning ticket was bought on MyLotto.

Lotto players from Horowhenua and Red Beach will also be celebrating after each winning $333,333 with Lotto First Division.

Lotto New Zealand said Saturday’s winner is the second Powerball multi-millionaire of 2024, and the win comes just weeks after a $17.25 million Powerball prize was won by a player in Canterbury.

“The player is looking forward to investing their winnings.”

A Whakatāne Lotto player won $8.3m in November last year.

Players can phone Lotto NZ on 0800 695 6886 if they want to find out the best way to claim their prize or go to their nearest Lotto outlet or online at MyLotto.
