If tonight’s jackpot is won by a single ticket, it will be the seventh-largest prize ever won. For the Powerball jackpot to be claimed, a ticket-holder must get all six Lotto numbers correct as well as the added Powerball number. If the jackpot is not claimed tonight, the jackpot rolls over each draw until it is won. The longest Powerball jackpot run in Lotto NZ history before it was struck was 24 consecutive draws. If more than one person wins Powerball, the jackpot is shared equally between the winning tickets.
