Lotto: Hamilton player wins $1m First Division prize, Powerball climbs to $25m

A Hamilton Lotto player will be celebrating today after winning $1 million in last night’s Lotto First Division.

Lotto Powerball was worth a whopping $23m for the Saturday night live draw but was not struck.

A Waikato local scored lucky however with their First Division play, winning the full $1m up for grabs.

The winning ticket was sold through the MyLotto app, continuing the recent streak of winning tickets sold online rather than through brick-and-mortar outlets.

The numbers for last night’s Lotto draw were 37, 32, 10, 26, 20, 33. The bonus ball was 29 and Powerball was 2.

Powerball will now roll over to Wednesday after failing to be struck, with the jackpot increasing to $25m.

Strike Four will also roll over to Wednesday, where $400,000 will be on the table for potential winners.

The biggest win so far this year went to a MyLotto player from Auckland, who struck gold when they won $23.3m in April.

Other major wins include a Christchurch player who banked over $20m in an August draw, and a Porirua player who won $17.2m with a ticket bought from the New World Whitby supermarket.
