A Masterton man described running through the house in his underwear after winning $5.08m in last Saturday\u2019s Lotto Powerball draw.<\/p>\n

Three players split the $15m jackpot, each picking up $5,083,333.<\/p>\n

The man logged in to MyLotto at 6.30am on Sunday while still in bed.<\/p>\n

Lotto\u2019s First Division Powerball jackpot has been struck twice so far this year.<\/p>\n

One MyLotto player from the Manawat\u016b-Whanganui region won $10.2m<\/a> on Wednesday, January 14.<\/p>\n

One week later, on January 21, a MyLotto player from Otago won $5.3m.<\/a><\/p>\n

What to do if you win<\/p>\n

Ticket holders can see immediately if they have won<\/a> if they purchased a ticket through MyLotto. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account.<\/p>\n

For prizes exceeding $1000, winners must complete an online prize claim form.<\/p>\n

Winners with physical tickets must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.<\/p>\n

For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the added Powerball number.<\/p>\n
