One lucky NZ ticket holder scoops $12m in tonight’s Lotto Powerball draw

One lucky New Zealand ticket holder has scooped tonight’s Lotto Powerball jackpot and $12 million.

There was just one winner in tonight’s draw.

Tonight’s numbers were 13, 4, 40, 33, 9, and 15. The Bonus ball was 1 and the Powerball was 4.

There were four Division 2 winners, each taking a share of $30,917.

The $10m Lotto First Division Powerball draw was not struck on Wednesday, but one player from Christchurch did come away with some winnings.

The player won $200,000 with Strike Four in the live Lotto draw, buying their ticket from Pak’nSave Riccarton.

What to do if you win

Ticket holders can see immediately if they have won if they purchased a ticket through MyLotto. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account.

For prizes of more than $1000, winners have to fill in an online prize form.

Winners with a physical ticket must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.

For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct, as well as the added Powerball number.
