One lucky ticket holder from Oamaru is $18.25 million richer after winning the Boxing Day Powerball jackpot.
The jackpot swelled to one of the larger wins of 2020 on Wednesday after no one registered the winning numbers.
Last night s winner, who purchased their ticket at New World Waitaki in Oamaru, picks up $18 million for Powerball and another $250,000 - a quarter share of the $1 million First Division prize which was split between four players.
The three other tickets which didn t have the correct Powerball number are worth $250,000 each - their share of Division One.
