One lucky New Plymouth punter is $13 million richer tonight after they won both Powerball and First Division.

The winning ticket was sold at New World Merrilands, and it means tonight is the twelfth Powerball win already this year.

It comes just three weeks after a Hamilton player won $16.5 million with Powerball First Division.

The winning numbers drawn at 8pm tonight were 26, 1, 11, 32, 2, 6.

The bonus ball was 10 and the Powerball 3.

There was no other Division 1 winner. Powerball had reached a $12m jackpot before tonight.

Strike Four has rolled over and will be $600,000 on Wednesday night.
