Christchurch man wins $5.5 million Powerball jackpot

A man from Christchurch has claimed a $5.5 million Lotto Powerball prize after Saturday's draw. He described his excitement, saying his legs turned “to jelly” when the amount was confirmed. He plans to use the money to secure his family’s future, travel, and enjoy life. The man is a regular Lotto player and only discovered he had won when he checked his ticket while buying coffee on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, another ticket purchased in Dunedin has also won $5.5 million, but this winner has not yet come forward to claim their prize. This means there are two new multimillionaires thanks to Saturday’s Powerball draw.
