Lotto win yet to be claimed

A customer of Milton St Store in Nelson who won $6.9 million with the Powerball first division has not yet claimed the prize.

New Zealand Lotteries chief executive Todd McLeay said the winner would collect a total prize of $6,939,991, with $6,439,991 from winning Powerball first division and $500,000 from also winning Lotto first division.

His advice to the Powerball winner was to write his or her name and address on the ticket, confirming ownership, then to contact NZ Lotteries' Wellington office.
