Lucky Five Win $1 Millon Lottery Jackpot

5 lucky Kiwis are having a fantastic start to the summer season. At the beginning of July, Lotto New Zealand announced that five winning tickets were sold for the Lotto Division’s live Lotto million-dollar draw. The winnings were split equally between each player.

Everybody dreams about winning the lottery. For these 5 players, it became a reality. However, the lucky winners still need to claim their prizes. These winning tickets were sold at the following locations:

• Countdown St Johns in Auckland
• New World Rolleston in Rolleston
• MyLotto Online: 1 player from Auckland, 2 players from Wellington

If you purchased a ticket from any of these locations, you should check to see if you’re one of the lucky winners!

However, the Powerball prize wasn’t activated this week. It will roll over into the next draw, where the prize will jump up to a whopping $5 million! New Zealand players have been getting lucky with the Powerball draw lately. Recently, a player in Christchurch won $33.5 million!

Another big win that has been rolled over is the Strike 4. Kiwis won’t want to miss out on the next draw. It will be worth $700,000.

So far, 2023 is showing to be a lucky year for lottery draws in New Zealand. One lucky man won an outstanding $23.5 million lotto prize back in January. It was definitely his lucky day because he didn’t go out of his way to purchase a ticket. He was at the store purchasing groceries and thought he might as well buy a ticket since the jackpot was so high.

NZ Lotto Prize Collection

When a player wins a Lotto prize in New Zealand, they have up to 12 months to claim it. On average, most winners claim their prizes within 2 days. If it’s a large prize, it’s normal to see winners so excited that they claim it on the same day. However, it’s not unheard of for winners to find out later and take a week or longer to claim their winnings.

Most players check their lottery tickets online using the MyLotto website or the MyLotto app. Players that have gotten into the habit of buying and checking tickets weekly could be in for a big surprise if they were one of the lucky 5 winners.
