Lotto Draw #2273 — Numbers & Results Review
Wednesday, 17 May 2023 · The official Lotto NZ winning numbers for this draw — 6 main balls, bonus ball and Powerball — plus how my 30 lines measured up.
The Powerball slipped away by a single number tonight—six was what we needed, and five was what we carried. That’s the kind of near-miss that makes you smile ruefully and buy a fancy coffee instead. Draw #2273 served up 2, 12, 13, 20, 23, 38 with supplementary 36, and while none of my 30 lines managed three main balls, we did scrape together 30 main-ball hits altogether. My best line, the Hot numbers one, grabbed two mains, and one line caught the bonus ball for a tiny consolation. No big win, just a gentle shrug and a reminder that the odds are the odds. Maybe Thursday’s luck is warmer.
