One lucky Kiwi is $8million richer after winning Lotto Powerball.

The winning ticket was sold at Botany New World in Auckland.

The big prize is made up of $7 million from Powerball First Division and $1 million from Lotto First Division.

Another person is set to collect a cool $1million in cash after getting all six winning Lotto numbers but not the Powerball.

Ten others had five of the numbers drawn tonight on their tickets plus the bonus ball, meaning they'd take home $24,272 each.

However, Strike Four rolled over tonight, so the jackpot will be $500,000 on Wednesday.

It's the second time this month the Powerball jackpot has been struck.

A Tauranga local, who bought their ticket online, won $10.3 million in early July.

A spokesperson for Lotto said people who bought their ticket Botany New World should write their name on the back it and check it immediately at any Lotto outlet, online at mylotto.co.nz or using the Lotto NZ App.

This year $7.5million in proceeds from Lotto ticket sales has been donated to Kaikoura and surrounding communities to help with the rebuild after last year's earthquake.
