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.
What to do if you win
Ticket holders can see immediately if they have won if they purchased a ticket through MyLotto. Prizes of $1000 or less are automatically credited to the account.
For prizes exceeding $1000, winners must complete an online prize claim form.
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.
