Two Powerball Players Win $12.75 Million

It will be a night to remember for two lucky Powerball players from Auckland after each winning $12.75 million with Powerball First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold on MyLotto to two players from Auckland.

The prize is made up of $12.5 million from Powerball First Division and $250,000 from Lotto First Division.

Tonight’s winners are the seventh and eighth Powerball multi-millionaires this year, and the win comes just over a month after an Auckland player won $4.5 million. The winner finally claimed his prize after more than two weeks and is planning to buy a home for his family.

Two other lucky Lotto players will also be celebrating after winning $250,000 with Lotto First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw. The winning tickets were sold at New World Broadway in Palmerston North and on MyLotto to a player from Canterbury.

Meanwhile, two lucky Strike players will also be celebrating after each winning $200,000 with Strike Four. The winning Strike tickets were sold at Dominion Superette in Auckland and Kaimanawa Store in Palmerston North.

Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores or on MyLotto should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLottoApp.
