Three lucky Lotto players from Auckland, Matamata and Timaru were in for a treat after last Wednesday’s draw, after each won $333,333 with Lotto First Division. This comes after $1m was won last week, which brought “tears and laughter” to a Hamilton couple just two weeks after a shocking cancer diagnosis. “My hands were shaking and neither of us could sleep.”A life-changing $8 million is up for grabs in tonight’s lotto Powerball draw. Winners with physical tickets 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.
