Ten people have won a share of last night's $50 million Powerball prize.
After delays releasing the results, Lotto this morning revealed that the enormous prize has been split between ten people who each won Second Division - no First Division winners took the prize.
The winning Powerball tickets were bought from:

Each of those winner will receive $5 million from the Powerball, $16,368 from Powerball Second Division, and a further $7631 from Second Division - making each winner's total prize $5,023,999.
Ten players also won a share of the Lotto First Division (non-Powerball) prize, and each will receive $100,000.
Those tickets were brought from:
Massey Amcal Pharmacy - Auckland

The MyLotto app and website will be under heavy load today and players are asked to be patient and check their ticket some time this afternoon.
Lotto counters in stores will also likely open later than usual today.
