Regional Lottery Players in New Zealand, Wisconsin and Nebraska Claim Prizes Totaling Over $1 Million

The four New Zealand Lotto second-division tickets were bought at Meg Star Auckland, MyLotto Rotorua, New World Waimate and Four Square Newfield in Invercargill; Powerball was not won in the draw.
The $100,000 Powerball ticket was sold at the BP gas station at 1201 Grand Ave. in Merrill and matched the numbers 2, 21, 24, 25 and 64, plus Powerball 7. Store officials said it was the largest winning ticket ever sold there.
The Wisconsin Powerball winner has 180 days from the Sept. 16 drawing to claim the prize, while the jackpot rose to an estimated $298 million because no ticket matched all six numbers.
The Nebraska Pick 4 ticket was sold at Speedee Mart at 5501 Holdrege Street in Lincoln. The odds of winning the $3,125 top prize are 1 in 10,000, and the ticket must be claimed within 180 days.
Lottery winners across three countries claimed prizes ranging from $3,125 to $1 million in recent drawings. A player in Rotorua, New Zealand, won NZ$1 million in Lotto's first division, while four second-division winners each received nearly NZ$63,000. In the United States, a Wisconsin Powerball ticket earned $100,000, and a Nebraska Pick 4 ticket won $3,125.
The Rotorua player claimed the largest prize of the New Zealand draw with a first-division win worth NZ$1 million. Four other tickets won second-division prizes of nearly NZ$63,000 each. These winning tickets were sold at four different retailers: Meg Star Auckland, MyLotto Rotorua, New World Waimate, and Four Square Newfield in Invercargill. The Powerball was not won in this draw.
A ticket sold at the BP gas station at 1201 Grand Ave. in Merrill, Wisconsin, matched four white balls and the Powerball, winning $100,000 after using the Power Play option. The winning numbers were 2, 21, 24, 25, 64, and Powerball 7. Store officials said it was the largest winning ticket ever sold at that location. The winner has 180 days from the Sept. 16 drawing to claim the prize.
No ticket matched all six numbers in the draw, so the Powerball jackpot advanced to an estimated $298 million for the next drawing. Players interested in claiming the prize must contact Wisconsin lottery officials before the 180-day deadline expires.
A Pick 4 ticket sold at Speedee Mart at 5501 Holdrege Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, won $3,125 after matching the numbers 09, 03, 06, and 04. The odds of winning the top prize in Pick 4 are 1 in 10,000, making this a rare win. The winner has 180 days from the drawing date to claim the prize at lottery headquarters or an authorized retailer.
