$12m Lotto Powerball winner yet to claim prize

The Napier winner of a $12 million Lotto Powerball jackpot on Saturday has yet to claim the prize.

The holder of the winning ticket, which was bought at the Andrew Spence Pharmacy in Napier, stands to collect $12,053,517, made up of the Powerball jackpot of $11,564,725, first-division Lotto of $488,760, and topped up with fifth-division Lotto of $32.

Lotteries Commission spokeswoman Helen Morgan-Banda said big winners often found it helpful to contact the commission directly.

She said the winner had 12 months to claim the prize.
