An individual from Invercargill has won a staggering $17.25 million in the Powerball lottery.

Despite the significant sum, this win only ranks as the 34th largest in the history of the Lotto in New Zealand.

The fortunate winner quickly came forward to claim their prize, although no additional information about them has been disclosed at this time.

This winning ticket was purchased through MyLotto and represents the second-largest prize ever won in Southland.

The top spot still belongs to a $20.5 million win in 2012 at the Windsor Stationery & Lotto.
