Tonight’s
numbers were 15, 20, 26, 21, 30 and 2. The bonus ball was 5, and the Powerball was 1.
This evening’s draw comes more than two months after one lucky Auckland punter equalled the biggest single-player prize in New Zealand Lotto history, winning $44m.
The total prize for the ticket they bought on MyLotto was $44,066,667, and it included a one-15th share of the Division One prize.
In June, a record $50m Powerball jackpot was split between seven people, netting them each $7.1m.
It took almost a month for the final winner to come forward and collect their portion of the winnings.
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.
Results are available immediately after the live draws on TVNZ 1, which take place on Wednesday and Saturday.
They can also be found through the MyLotto app, online at www.mylotto.co.nz, at Lotto NZ retailers and on nzherald.co.nz.
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.
If the jackpot is not claimed, it will roll over each draw until it is won, or reaches the must-be-won limit.
If more than one person wins Powerball, the jackpot is shared equally between the winning tickets.
