Powerball Jackpot Jumps to $45 Million for Wednesday’s Draw
Powerball Rolls Over – $45 Million Up for Grabs Wednesday!
No one hit the Powerball jackpot tonight, which means the prize has climbed to a whopping $45 million for Wednesday’s draw — the biggest it’s been since last August!
Lotto NZ’s Head of Corporate Communications, Will Hine, called it an “epic jackpot,” reminding players that a single Auckland family once took home $44.67 million, the largest Powerball win ever on one ticket.
A Few Quick Highlights:
-
? Jackpot: $45 million on Wednesday
-
? Recent Wins: Six players snagged $166,667 each with Lotto First Division
-
? Strike Four: Three players from Auckland and Canterbury pocketed $66,667 each
While excitement is building, Lotto NZ urges everyone to play smart. “Big jackpots come with small odds,” Hine said. “One ticket is all you need to be in the draw — and grab it early, because stores and MyLotto will be packed Wednesday evening.”
Winning First Division tickets came from Whitcoulls Nelson and MyLotto players across Auckland, Waikato, Tauranga, Tararua, Nelson, and Otago. The Strike Four winners bought theirs at Pak’nSave Papakura, Fresh Choice Leeston, and on MyLotto.
If you played tonight, it’s time to check those tickets — in-store, online, or via the MyLotto app. Every win supports Kiwi communities, with 100% of Lotto NZ profits going back into local grant programs.
