The New Zealand Powerball lotto is on target for a new jackpot record, no one won the draw last night leaving a massive jackpot of $22 million for the next draw on 3rd October.

Only once before has the jackpot entered the mid twenty million dollar mark and that was back in 2008 when it reached $24 million before going on to $30 million in a must be won draw that saw 5 very lucky players share the jackpot.

Ticket sales hotted up last week so retailers are expecting bumper sales once again as Saturday approaches, to win the jackpot you have to match 6 numbers drawn from a drum of 40 and the powerball which is drawn from a drum of 10. Prize divisions go down a very nice 12 levels so plenty of chances of a prize even if you don’t hit it big.

Remember you don’t have to be resident in New Zealand the play, it is perfectly legal to play here online at the Lotter, just open an account and buy your ticket, it really is that simple !
