A $25 million jackpot is up for grabs in tonight’s Lotto Powerball draw – do you have the lucky ticket?
The winning numbers for Lotto draw 2617 are 32, 38, 4, 25, 8 and 22. The Bonus Ball was 34 and Powerball 3.
A total prize pool of $26.2m is on the line, made up of $25m from Powerball, $1m from First Division and $200,000 with Strike!
Previous winners
Powerball went unstruck on Saturday, causing it to jackpot from $23m to $25m for the first play of September.
There have been at least 11 Powerball millionaires crowned this year, with the biggest jackpot – a whopping $40m – split between two Aucklanders.
Each winner took home $20.1m, having both nabbed $111,111 in Lotto First Division.
If struck by one lucky player, tonight’s earnings would fall shy of the $28.6m scooped by an Ashburton family in June.
That draw was won after 11 consecutive rollovers, with the family buying their ticket from Four Square Netherby.
Other major wins unfolded in April, with a New Plymouth player bagging $14.3m on a ticket purchased via MyLotto.
One week later, a North Shore punter pocketed a $5.5m prize after purchasing a ticket from Whitcoulls Glenfield.
If struck, tonight’s Powerball draw may well be the last major win of its kind, as Lotto prepares to overhaul and refresh the big-ticket lottery game next Sunday.
From September 13, changes to the game include increasing the number of Powerballs from 10 to 14; introducing a Powerball division eight; increasing the minimum jackpot from $4m to $5m; and increasing the maximum jackpot threshold from $50m to $60m.
What to do if you win
Ticket holders can see immediately if they have won if they purchased a ticket through My Lotto. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the buyer’s account.
For prizes exceeding $1000, winners must complete an online prize claim form.
Winners with physical tickets must still visit a Lotto retailer to claim their prize.
