$33 milyon para sa pagkuha sa Powerball

Share:

Ang Powerball jackpot ay umabot sa napakalaking $33 milyon ngayong gabi, ang parehong halaga na nanalo ng isang mag-asawa mula sa Christchurch halos isang taon na ang nakalilipas noong Hunyo 2023. Tumagal ang mag-asawa ng higit sa isang linggo upang maangkin ang kanilang premyo, na nangangailangan ng oras upang maunawaan ang kalaki ng kanilang panalo. Pinanatili nila ang kanilang nanalong tiket sa isang medyas habang naghihintay sila.

Naalala ng babae ang gabi ng draw, na sinasabi na nakita niya ang mga numero na ‘sumayaw sa papel’ habang binabasa niya ang huling linya. “Hindi ako makahinga noong una – halos hyperventilating ako,” sabi niya.

Mula nang panalo nila, ang Powerball ay nanalo nang 14 beses pa, na gumawa ng mga bagong multi-milyonaire sa buong bansa. Si Lucy Fullarton, Head of Corporate Communications ng Lotto NZ, ay madalas na tinanong tungkol sa ‘pinakamaswerteng’ lugar upang bumili ng tiket.

Ipinaliwanag niya na habang maaaring may mga paboritong tindahan o mga espesyal na numero ang mga tao, pareho ang posibilidad na manalo kahit saan o kung paano mo binili ang iyong tiket. Maaari itong maging online o in-store, at maaari kang gumamit ng mga regular na numero o bumili ng dip ticket. Binibigyang diin niya na ang loterya ay tungkol sa kasiyahan at kaguluhan, at hinihikayat ang mga customer na gastusin lamang ang maaari nilang bayaran.

Sinabi ni Lucy na ang Lotto NZ ay nagbibigay ng suporta at payo sa lahat ng malalaking nanalo sa sandaling maangkin nila ang kanilang premyo. Karaniwan, ang unang bagay na iniisip ng mga nanalo ay kung paano nila matutulungan ang kanilang mga mahal sa buhay. “Alam namin na ang panalo ay may malaking epekto at karamihan, kung hindi lahat, sinasabi sa amin ng aming mga malalaking nanalo ay plano nilang ibahagi ang kanilang mga panalo sa pamilya, kaibigan, mga tao sa kanilang lokal na komunidad at mga kawanggawa na malapit sa kanilang puso.”

Kung ang Powerball jackpot ngayong gabi at ang $1 milyong premyo ng Lotto first division ay nanalo sa pamamagitan ng isang solong tiket, ito ang magiging ikalimang pinakamalaking premyo na nanalo sa kasaysayan ng Lotto NZ. Pinapayuhan ni Lucy ang sinumang gustong lumahok sa draw ngayong gabi na makuha ang kanilang tiket nang maaga upang maiwasan ang abalang oras sa tindahan at online.

“Habang umakyat ang jackpot, mas maraming pangangailangan para sa aming mga laro. Alam namin na abala ang mga tindahan mula 5 ng gabi ngayon, at maraming tao ang tatalon din online upang kunin ang kanilang tiket sa oras bago magsara ang mga benta sa 7.30 ng hapon. Ang payo namin ay pumasok nang maaga at iwasan ang pagmamadali.”

Ibinibigay ng Lotto NZ ang lahat ng kita nito sa mga komunidad ng Kiwi sa pamamagitan ng mga programa ng mga grant sa loterya, na pinapatakbo ng Te Puna Tahua NZ Lottery Grants Board.
