The latest Lotto draw has brought good fortune to a Northland ticket holder, who has clinched a whopping $200,000 from the Strike Four category in the recent $15 million Lotto draw. This ticket, purchased online, emerged as the biggest winner of the night.
Winning Numbers and Additional Winners
The drawn numbers for tonight were 3, 36, 11, 12, 30, and 2, with the Bonus Ball also being 6, and the Powerball set at 6. Alongside the Northland winner, six additional tickets shared the First Division prize, each bagging $166,667. Notably, four of these winning tickets were bought online, with purchases made in Northland, Waikato, and two in Auckland. The remaining two tickets were purchased from Pak’n’Save Silverdale and Whitcoulls in Glenfield.
Upcoming Powerball Jackpot
Despite the excitement surrounding the Lotto draw, the Powerball jackpot was not claimed, and it will roll over to an impressive $17 million for the upcoming draw on Wednesday. This follows recent significant wins, including a staggering $44 million shared among several lucky players last month. In fact, one Auckland player even matched the record for the largest single Lotto win in New Zealand history, taking home a total of $44,066,667.
