A Masterton man described running through the house in his underwear after winning $5.08m in last Saturday’s Lotto Powerball draw. Lotto’s First Division Powerball jackpot has been struck twice so far this year. One MyLotto player from the Manawatū-Whanganui region won $10.2m on Wednesday, January 14. One week later, on January 21, a MyLotto player from Otago won $5.3m. For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the added Powerball number.
