A lucky Hamilton Lotto player will be dreaming big after winning $8.3 million with Powerball First Division on Saturday night.
The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Hamilton. The prize is made up of $8 million from Powerball First Division and $333,333 from Lotto First Division.
The winning numbers were 5, 19, 23, 31, 39 and 40. The bonus ball was 25 and powerball was 1.
Saturday's winner is the sixteenth Powerball multi-millionaire of 2023, and the win comes just weeks after a $6.3 million Powerball prize was won by a couple in Auckland. The couple are looking forward to travelling and buying a house with their prize.
Two other lucky Lotto players will also be celebrating after winning $333,333 with First Division on Saturday night. The winning tickets were sold on MyLotto to a player from Taranaki and Christchurch City.
Strike Four rolled over on Saturday and will be $300,000 on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, 10 players would've had a great Saturday night after each winning $26,855 with Lotto Second Division.
One lucky player also won Powerball Second Division, taking their total winnings to $44,426.
The winning Powerball Second Division ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Kāpiti Coast. The winning Second Division tickets were sold at stores in Auckland, Papakura, Rotorua, Whanganui, Kāpiti Coast, Wellington, Rangiora, Darfield and Ōamaru.
