A Hawke's Bay Lotto player will be celebrating, and maybe kicking themselves just a little too, after a $333,333 first division win.
Three players around New Zealand won first division on Wednesday night, sharing the $1 million prize pool.
But one of them, a MyLotto player from Auckland, also picked
the Powerball number and took home an extra $6m as a result.
The Hawke's Bay MyLotto player missed out on the Powerball number, along with a player from Southland, but the consolation first division prize will do just fine.
The Auckland winner is the twentieth Powerball winner so far this year and comes just over a week after a Tauranga couple won $10.3 million with Powerball.
