It will be celebrations all round for one lucky Powerball player from Christchurch after taking home $10.5 million with Powerball First Division in last night’s live Lotto draw. 

The $10.5 million prize is made up of $10 million from Powerball First Division and $500,000 from Lotto First Division. 

The winning ticket was sold at Bishopdale New World in Christchurch.  

The win comes nearly three weeks after the recent mammoth $50 million Powerball Must Be Won draw. 

With no First Division winners, the jackpot rolled down to Powerball Second Division where ten lucky players from around the country shared the prize, each taking home just over $5 million. 

One other lucky Lotto player will also be celebrating after winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division.  

The winning Lotto ticket was sold at New World Wairoa in Wairoa.
