Forsyth Barr’s Mark Richardson explains how to protect, invest, and plan after a life-changing win.

No one won the whopping $36 million up for grabs in this evening’s Lotto Powerball draw.

Tonight’s lucky Lotto numbers were 25, 3, 9, 4, 29, 40, and the bonus ball was 20. Powerball was 3.

The total prize pool on offer was $37.2m – $36m in Powerball, $1m in First Division and $200,000 in Strike Four.

Four lucky players split the Lotto First Division, taking home a cool $250,000 each.

However the big prize was unstruck, and has rolled over to a staggering $40m next Saturday.

Last Saturday’s winners

On Saturday night, two First Division players – one from Auckland and another from the West Coast – split the $1 million prize, each taking home $500,000.

One ticket was sold through the MyLotto app, while the West Coast winner bought theirs at New World Westport in Westport.

Players also found success in the Strike Four draw, with two from Nelson and Waimate claiming $100,000 each.

What to do if you win

Ticket holders can see immediately if they have won if they purchased a ticket through MyLotto. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account.

For prizes of more than $1000, winners must complete an online prize form.

Winners with a physical ticket must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.

For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the added Powerball number.
