A lucky Powerball player from Carterton will be celebrating a life-changing win after winning $30.16 million with Powerball First Division in Saturday night’s live Lotto draw.

The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Carterton.

The prize is made up of $30 million from Powerball First Division and $166,667 from Lotto First Division.

Saturday’s winner is the fourth Powerball multi-millionaire of 2024, and the win comes just over a month after a $12.3 million Powerball prize was won by a couple in Otago, who say they are now lucky enough to be able to fulfil their dreams.

Five other lucky Lotto players will also be celebrating after winning $166,667 with Lotto First Division in Saturday night’s live Lotto draw.

The winning tickets were sold at Waimauku Minimart in Waimauku, Pacific Superette in Auckland, Pak N Save Ormiston in Auckland, and on MyLotto to two players from Waikato.

Meanwhile, Strike Four has rolled over tonight and will be $800,000 on Wednesday night.
