New Zealand lottery records
The biggest New Zealand lottery prizes on record. NZ Powerball's NZ$50M cap-driven Must-Be-Won draws, NZ Lotto Division 1 forced payouts, and Strike's tightly packed weekly figures, ranked side-by-side.
Ranks every New Zealand draw in our database by Division 1 prize amount across NZ Lotto, Powerball NZ, and Strike.
When NZ Powerball hits its NZ$50M cap and rolls one more week without a winner, a Must-Be-Won draw forces the entire prize pool to be paid out. Those nights are the headline entries here.
