With TheLotter, you can play New Zealand’s leading lotto by purchasing NZ PowerLuck tickets, and they will be matched to the official draw tickets in the same manner as if you were purchasing your tickets in person!
To play the official New Zealand Powerball drawing, select six NZ PowerLuck numbers from a guess range of 1-40 and an additional number, the Powerball, from a guess range of 1-10. Choose how to fill out your entries: use your saved Lucky Numbers, opt for a Quick Pick random selection, or select numbers manually. Then see a scan of your NZ Powerball ticket in your account before the Wednesday draws at 08:20 GMT and the Saturday draws at 08:00 GMT. Good luck playing the NZ Powerball with NZ PowerLuck tickets!
NZ PowerLuck results and prizes correspond to the official New Zealand Powerball draw. Therefore, if you win a prize playing PowerLuck, TheLotter will award you the equivalent prize for the respective prize division.
To win the NZ Powerball jackpot, you must match the six main numbers and the additional Powerball number with those selected in the draw. You can win secondary prizes by matching the bonus ball. There are no taxes on NZ Powerball lottery prizes. The lottery has a minimum jackpot of NZ$4 million and a jackpot cap of NZ$50 million. If that cap is reached, a "Must Be Won" draw takes place. If no ticket manages to match the six main numbers and the Powerball in that draw, the prize money rolls down to the next highest prize division with winning tickets. Check the NZ PowerLuck results after every draw to see if you're a winner!
When you purchase lottery tickets in New Zealand, Powerball is an optional add-on to the regular Lotto game. The original Lotto offers a guaranteed jackpot amount of NZ$1 million and the Powerball jackpot prize is optional. When you play NZ PowerLuck online at theLotter, you are playing the Lotto game with the additional Powerball option included in your ticket. When you win the NZ Powerball jackpot online with your NZ PowerLuck tickets, you win both the Lotto prize and the Powerball prize! As a result, the NZ PowerLuck jackpot advertised on our site is NZ$1 million more than that announced on the official New Zealand Powerball website.
The NZ Powerball has 14 incredible prize divisions, seven of which, including the jackpot, require the additional Powerball number drawn from a second drum. However, the NZ Lotto also selects a seventh ball from the main drum as a bonus number. This creates three out of six Powerball prizes and boosts a further three prizes on its own!
The New Zealand Powerball requires the same number of selections as the Australia Powerball (6+1), as opposed to the US Powerball which uses 5+1. However, the NZ Powerball distinguishes itself with its use of a bonus number and a 1-10 guess range for its Powerball. Although its jackpots are far smaller than the US Powerball, this New Zealand lottery offers 14 prize divisions and fantastic winning odds!
