A Powerball bettor will take home $ 4.2 million after winning big in Saturday night’s Lotto drawing.
The player took home the largest prize in the drawing, which included four others who shared $ 200,000 from the first division of Lotto.
The winning ticket was purchased at Hobsonville Four Square.
The $ 4 million jackpot is the second major Powerball win in a matter of days – a Christchurch player won $ 10.5 million Wednesday night.

Last month, 10 winners shared a $ 50 million jackpot in the Must Be Won Powerball drawing.
Lotto spokeswoman Marie Winfield said 11 people have become billionaires overnight with Powerball in the past month, Winfield said.
“We are excited for all of our recent winners.
“It has been amazing to hear their unique stories, and helping them navigate this life-changing moment is a privilege,” Winfield said.
The strike piled up on Saturday night and racked up as much as $ 600,000 on Wednesday.
Four other players won $ 200,000 each in the First Division Lottery.
Of the four $ 200,000 winners, one of these tickets was from Glendene Superette in Auckland, the other from Greymouth New World. The other two bought tickets online through MyLotto.
