$24m winning ticket bought in New Plymouth

One lucky person from New Plymouth is a whopping $24 million richer after winning Lotto on Saturday night.

The multimillion-dollar win was made up of $1m from Lotto First Division and $23m for Powerball, and the winning ticket was sold at Bell Block Supermarket in New Plymouth.

They are the 17th person made a multi-millionaire from Lotto this year.

The mouth-watering sum was up for grabs in Saturday’s Super Saturday Lotto Powerball draw.

The winning numbers were: 5, 31, 38, 3, 27, and 29. The Bonus Ball was 21, and the Power Ball was 5. Nobody won Strike Four, so that $300,000 jackpot will move to Wednesday.
