One lucky Lotto Powerball player has won $28.5 million in last night's draw.

The winning player took out $28.5 million with Powerball First Division, as well as a $250,000 share of Lotto First Division — taking their total winnings to $28.25 million.

Three other Lotto players also won $250,000 each with Lotto First Division.

Meanwhile, one Strike player won $400,000 with Strike Four.

Twenty players each won $20,945 with Lotto Second Division, with one of those tickets also winning Powerball Second Division to take its total prize to $50,419.

Lotto said the stores and locations where the major winning tickets were sold would be revealed later today.

Players were being urged to check their tickets in-store, through MyLotto or on the MyLotto app.

Last night's draw comes as multiple changes come to Lotto this month, including a rise in the number of Powerballs from 10 to 14, higher jackpot winnings and a brand new prize division.

Lotto believes this will create larger prizes and more chances to win big.
