Auckland Lotto Player Wins $10.3 Million in Major Jackpot

An Auckland Powerball player has made history by winning $10.3 million in Wednesday night’s Lotto draw, marking the twelfth time in 2025 that a New Zealander has claimed a Powerball prize exceeding $1 million.

According to the latest reports, the winning ticket was purchased through MyLotto and earned the player $10 million from the Powerball First Division and an additional $333,333 from the Lotto First Division. This impressive win highlights the growing popularity and excitement surrounding New Zealand’s national lottery system.

The win comes just weeks after a $15.08 million split win by players in Wellington and Invercargill. This recent success has sparked renewed interest in the lottery, with many hoping to replicate the fortune of the lucky Auckland player.

Additionally, two other Auckland-based players also hit the jackpot, each winning $333,333 in the Lotto First Division. While the Strike Four prize was not claimed, it will roll over to $400,000 for Saturday night’s draw, potentially creating even more excitement among lottery enthusiasts.

With the growing number of high-value prizes being awarded, the Powerball and Lotto draws continue to capture the imagination of New Zealanders. Whether it’s the thrill of the game or the chance to change one’s life, these draws remain a popular and anticipated event in the community.

As the next draw approaches, the anticipation is building. Will another lucky player be the next to claim a life-changing prize? Only time will tell.
