Another lucky punter will also be celebrating after winning $500,000 with Lotto first division. The winning ticket was sold at Shree Superette in Auckland.
Meanwhile, Strike Four has rolled over and will be $400,000 on Saturday night.
Last night’s numbers were 7, 9, 16, 19, 30 and 35. The bonus ball was 27 and the Powerball number was 4.
Five have collected their $7.1 million share of the prize, with two tickets yet to be claimed.
“It’s amazing that Powerball rolled down to second division and was shared between seven players – it’s fantastic to see more of our lucky players get to experience what it’s like to win,” Lotto NZ chief executive Jason Delamore said.
The top 10 Lotto draws before Saturday night's $50 million Powerball jackpot.
“This is going to be life-changing, and not only for the lucky winners themselves, as we know winning big has a huge ripple effect.”
Queues spilled onto the streets on Saturday and stretched inside malls at Lotto stores as an unprecedented two million tickets were expected to be bought in the biggest jackpot of the year.
The MyLotto site was closed on Saturday night because of high demand to check the results.
The seven winners had five correct Lotto numbers and a bonus ball, along with the Powerball.
