Napier Lotto player wins $1 million in last nights draw
One lucky Lotto player from Napier will be celebrating after winning $1 million with Lotto First Division in last nights draw.
The winning ticket was sold at Napier City Pak N Save.
The $43 million Powerball prize has still not been struck and will jackpot on Saturday to a must win $50m.
Wednesday night's numbers were: 16, 10, 25, 32, 29 and 34. The Bonus ball was 40, and the Powerball was 4.
"Powerball has jackpotted to an incredible $50 million – and it must be won," said Marie Winfield, Lotto NZ spokeswoman.
If the jackpot is won by a single player on Saturday, they'll be taking home the largest prize ever won in Lotto NZ's history.
In a Must Be Won draw, if no single ticket wins Powerball First Division, the prize pool rolls down to the next highest division with winners.
"Powerball must be won this Saturday and it's guaranteed that one or more lucky Kiwis are going to win big – even if the prize is split," said Winfield.
"However the balls fall on the night, we know so many people will benefit from this prize. Winners always tell us of the amazing things they plan to do for family, friends and charities close to their hearts. It's going to make such a difference in their community."
