Otago Family Claim ‘Absolutely Unreal’ $5.3 Million Powerball PrizePhoto/SuppliedAn Otago family has come forward to claim the second Powerball jackpot of 2026, describing their $5.3 million win as ‘absolutely unreal.’One of the family members says she buys a $6 ticket twice a week, which is a mixture of special birthday numbers and randomly chosen numbers. “It’s saved in my MyLotto account with our family name at the top – we’ve played the same ticket for years,” she said. “My husband was out, and I just happened to check our ticket going to bed. “As soon as MyLotto opened we logged in to check… and then we checked again, and again, and again,” she laughed. The family are planning to take some time to think about their future before making any decisions.
