Heard the buzz?

Someone woke up $10.3 million richer and while the winner’s from Auckland, it’s close enough to make any Coastie’s ears perk up.

The life-changing ticket was bought through MyLotto and scooped up both the $10 million Powerball First Division and a tidy $333,333 from Lotto First Division.

That’s one heck of a midweek surprise.

This marks the twelfth Powerball multi-millionaire win this year, and it comes just a couple of weeks after two players from Wellington and Invercargill shared $15.08 million. Word is they’re planning to help out family, buy homes, and finally book those dream trips.

Two other Lotto players, both in Auckland, also picked up $333,333 in Wednesday night’s draw. And while Strike Four didn’t go, it’s now sitting at $400,000 for Saturday.

Grabbed a ticket this week?

Might be time for a quick check on the MyLotto app or website.

And if it turns out you’re one of the lucky ones, give Lotto NZ a ring on 0800 695 6886 to get the ball rolling.

No harm in dreaming a little today, is there?
