Ashburton Family Wins $28.6M Powerball

A family from Ashburton just won a jaw-dropping $28.6 million Powerball jackpot—the 11th largest in Lotto New Zealand history—after playing the same $7.50 ticket for years. They didn’t know they’d won until the day after the draw, when a daughter’s text sparked disbelief and tears. The win includes three additional Lotto First Division prizes, each worth $200,000. Still stunned, they’re taking things slow but already planning to buy their first home—marking the biggest lottery win ever in Ashburton and the largest single-ticket win since October 2024.
