A Powerball player from Thames has won $4.5 million in Saturday night’s live Lotto draw, just days after a record $28.6m jackpot was claimed in Ashburton.<\/p>\n
The winning ticket was sold at Paper Power Thames and is made up of $4 million from Powerball First Division and $500,000 from Lotto First Division.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s winner is the twelfth Powerball multi-millionaire this year, according to Lotto.<\/p>\n
The winning numbers were 03, 22, 29, 37, 39, 40. <\/p>\n
The bonus ball was 13 and Powerball 01.<\/p>\n
A second player also won $500,000 from Lotto First Division. That ticket was sold on MyLotto to an Auckland player.<\/p>\n
An Auckland-based Strike player also picked up $200,000 with Strike Four, also purchased through MyLotto.<\/p>\n
Seven other players each won $35,815 in Lotto Second Division. One of those players, from Whanganui, also won Powerball Second Division, bringing their total to $50,585.<\/p>\n
The Second Division winning tickets were sold at outlets including Paper Plus Waiuku, Pak n Save P\u0101p\u0101moa, and through MyLotto to players in Auckland, \u014cp\u014dtiki, Whanganui and Palmerston North.<\/p>\n
