Powerball was not struck this evening and has rolled over to Saturday night where the jackpot will be a mind-blowing $50 million – and must be won.
Under Lotto NZ game rules, if the jackpot reaches $50 million it can’t roll over and a Must Be Won draw must be held on the next draw date.
In a Must Be Won draw, if no single ticket wins Powerball First Division, the prize pool rolls down to the next highest division with winners.
Meanwhile, six Lotto players will be celebrating after each winning $166,667 with Lotto First Division in tonight’s live Lotto draw.
Strike Four was also won tonight by three lucky Strike players from Auckland, Gisborne, and Ashburton. The winning Strike tickets were sold at Botany Junction Four Square in Auckland and on MyLotto to players from Gisborne and Ashburton.
Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above stores or on MyLotto should check their ticket as soon as possible in-store, on MyLotto, or through the MyLotto App.
