$5 million up for grabs in NZ Powerball lottery

  by: admin - Category:

Keen lottery players might want to snatch up a few tickets for the next New Zealand (NZ) Lotto Powerball draw, as the jackpot is NZ$5 million.

That’s because Saturday night’s (April 16th’s) game failed to see anyone walk off with the big money, so next week someone is in with a chance of taking home the gold.

Chief executive of NZ Lotteries Todd McLeay noted that last week – when the jackpot was NZ$34 million – was an “amazing week” for the company, with a total of 3.4 million tickets bought.

“It was our biggest week ever for Lotto Powerball,” he remarked.

Although the pot of gold wasn’t picked up, three First Division prizes were won on Saturday night, worth NZ$333,333, so there were no doubt some very happy players out there indeed.

A total of seven people won NZ$38,344 on the Second Division lottery prizes as well, with ticket holders advised to write their name on the back of the stub for security purposes.
