The winning ticket was sold at Sunnybrae Dairy & Lotto in Manukau in Tāmaki Makaurau.

The win comes just weeks after a $17.25 million Powerball prize was won by a couple from Invercargill.

The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, said they were looking forward to helping their family with the winnings.

“We struggled to keep a straight face in front of our children. They kept asking what was going on,” the man said. “We were buzzing, you could feel it in the air.”

Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto App.
