The New Zealand Lotto draw held Wednesday night has resulted in no jackpot winner, causing the prize to increase to a staggering $30 million for the upcoming Saturday draw.
The winning numbers for the last draw were 28, 16, 8, 10, 32, and 4, with a bonus ball of 40. The Powerball number was 10.
With the prize now reaching $30 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.
