It will be a Christmas to remember for a lucky Powerball player from Whangārei, after winning $6.2 million with Lotto's Powerball First Division.

The winning numbers were 17, 14, 31, 2, 33 and 19. The Bonus Ball was 9 and the Powerball was 1.

The winning ticket was sold on MyLotto to a player from Whangārei. The prize was made up of $6 million from Powerball First Division and $200,000 from Lotto First Division.
