    Luck is on the side of an Otago Powerball player - after a 5.3 million dollar win last night

    Luck is on the side of an Otago Powerball player - after a 5.3 million dollar win last night


    It's the second Powerball multi-millionaire of the year - just a week after a Manawatu-Whanganui player won 10.2 million.

    Two other Lotto players will also be celebrating after claiming more than 333-thousand dollars last night, with winning tickets sold at Pak'nSave Porirua and New World Kaiapoi.
