The New Zealand Lotto draw held Saturday night has resulted in no jackpot winner, causing the prize to increase to a staggering $33 million for the upcoming Saturday draw.
The winning numbers for the last draw were 6, 7, 21, 22, 23, and 40, with a bonus ball of 29. The Powerball number was 10.
With the prize now reaching $33 million and still growing, it surpasses the second-largest prize won this year, which amounted to $23.5 million and was claimed by a fortunate player from Auckland. In a comparison, the previously significant amount now appears relatively insignificant.
Back in April, an individual from Invercargill won a substantial sum of $17.25 million after securing First Division and Powerball. The lucky ticket was purchased through the convenient MyLotto app. Just a few weeks earlier, a couple from Porirua celebrated their victory, claiming a $7 million Powerball prize.
Moreover, during a must-be-won draw aimed at assisting individuals residing in regions affected by Cyclone Gabrielle, one fortunate player won a remarkable $15.5 million. This special draw allocated half of the ticket sales value to support those impacted by the cyclone.
In the latest Lotto Division One category, five players each won a substantial prize of $200,000, marking the highest individual payouts of the draw.
