A Canterbury Lotto player will be waking up on top of the world on Sunday after winning $17.25 million with Powerball First Division on Saturday night.
The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Canterbury.
The prize is made up of $17 million from Powerball First Division and $250,000 from Lotto First Division.
Saturday night's numbers were 8, 20, 25, 32, 11 and 13. The bonus ball was 7 and Powerball was 1.
Saturday night's winner is the first Powerball multi-millionaire of 2024 and comes just one month after a $12.2 million Powerball prize was won by an Auckland couple. The couple are looking forward to supporting their family with their win.
Three other lucky players will also be celebrating after each winning $250,000 with Lotto First Division on Saturday night.
The winning tickets were sold at Highpoint Temptations Lotto in Birkenhead, Four Square Mangapapa in Gisborne and on MyLotto to a player from Franklin, Waikato.
