One lucky player from the area will be popping the champagne after taking home $5 million with Powerball First Division in Saturday’s Lotto draw.
The winning ticket was sold at Pakuranga Lotto and is made up of $4m from Powerball First Division and $1m from Lotto First Division.
Saturday’s win comes just days after Powerball was struck for the fifth time in September alone. Three players from Auckland and two players from Christchurch scored big with Powerball last month, taking home a total of $32.8m between them.
