Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Wednesday night where the jackpot will be $42 million.

“$42 million is the second largest prize in Powerball history in New Zealand, and if won would be an absolute life-changer,” says Marie Winfield, Head of Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility at Lotto NZ.

“The last time Powerball was over $40 million was in 2016 when a couple from the Hibiscus Coast won the $44 million jackpot.”

“There is a buzz in Lotto NZ stores around the country as people dream of winning big. We’re expecting stores to be really busy in the lead up to Wednesday’s draw, so recommend getting in early to pick up your ticket. You’ve got to be in to win!” says Marie.

Meanwhile, two lucky Lotto players from Auckland and Waihi will be jumping for joy after each winning $500,000 with Lotto First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.
