Ben Leahy is a reporter for the New Zealand HeraldLabour weekend could be about to get a whole lot better for one lucky Kiwi Lotto player with a $5.5 million Powerball winning ticket still going unclaimed. Lotto NZ has now put out a call to anyone who bought a Powerball ticket from Paper Plus Morrinsville for last Saturday's draw to check their ticket before heading away for the weekend. Marie Winfield from Lotto NZ said her team were anxious for New Zealand's newest multi-millionaire to check their ticket. The man thought the prize had already been claimed so was taken by surprise when Lotto NZ knocked on his door. Anyone who bought a ticket from Paper Plus Morrinsville should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it immediately at any Lotto outlet, online at MyLotto.co.nz or through Lotto NZ App.
