$1 Million Lotto Powerball Prize Won as $15 Million Jackpot Eludes Players

In tonight's $15 million Lotto Powerball draw, no one managed to hit the jackpot. However, one fortunate player struck First Division, walking away with a significant prize of $1 million.

The winning numbers for the draw were 22, 3, 25, 24, 4, and 12, with the Bonus Ball being 10 and the Power Ball at 9.

Interestingly, last month, a couple from Christchurch experienced one of the biggest Lotto wins in recent history but kept their ticket hidden in a sock drawer for several days as they processed the enormity of their windfall.

The incredible $33.5 million prize was finally claimed after the numbers were announced on June 28.

The winner revealed that she was busy with chores on the night of the draw and only checked her ticket quite late before going to bed.

The magnitude of the win overwhelmed her, and she took some time to gather her thoughts before coming forward.
