A lucky Lotto punter in Canterbury is $5 million richer after striking the Powerball jackpot in tonight's draw.
The prize is made up of $4 million from Powerball First Division and $1 million from Lotto First Division.
It's the third time this month that Powerball First Division has been won by a player who bought their ticket online at MyLotto and the second time in a row that Powerball has been struck.
Tonight's win follows on from Saturday when a MyLotto player from Auckland won $6.3 million, just a week after a young man from Central Otago scooped $22.3 million with a ticket bought through the Lotto NZ app.
Meanwhile, Strike Four rolled over tonight and will be $400,000 on Saturday.
