Lotto says tonight’s must-win provision is to help manage system demand before a “once in a generation” system upgrade, due to go live on September 29.
The winning ticket was sold to a Dunedin player through MyLotto, making this the second Dunedin Powerball jackpot winner this year and the fifth jackpot-winning ticket to be sold via MyLotto.
