Biggest New Zealand Lottery Jackpots
NZ Lotto + Powerball runs two parallel jackpots: the NZ$1M Lotto First Division (Must-Be-Won when it rolls four weeks) and NZ Powerball's NZ$50M ceiling. Below: the biggest Division 1 prizes we've recorded across both games.
NZ Powerball Must-Be-Won draws (when the prize hits NZ$50M and rolls one more week without a winner) are spectacular — the entire jackpot must be paid out, sliding into the next-highest division if no one wins outright.
