$50 Million Powerball Must Be Won – Will It Be Won In Your Region?

Published: Fri 28 Feb 2020 05:04 PM
It’s the talk of the town – a record-breaking $50 million is up for grabs this Saturday and must be won! Kiwis all around the country are joining queues to pick up a little yellow ticket that may just change their lives forever.
In a Must Be Won draw, if there are no First Division winners the entire jackpot rolls down to the next division where there are winners – i.e. Second or Third Division. If there is more than one winner in that prize division, then the prize is shared evenly amongst all of the winners. Read more about how a Must Be Won draw works here.
“With a Powerball Must Be Won this Saturday, it’s guaranteed that one or more lucky Kiwis are going to win big – even if the prize is split.
“Winning can happen anywhere, this year we’ve made five millionaires already from Auckland (2), Alexandra, Tuatapere and Temuka. We’re excited that we’ll be making more New Zealanders millionaires this weekend!” says Marie Winfield, Head of Communications and Corporate Social Responsibility at Lotto NZ.
Ticket sales are projected to be well over two million for Saturday’s draw and Lotto NZ is encouraging players to get in early.
“With an epic $50 million up for grabs, we know Kiwis want a chance to win. Lotto NZ stores are going to be really busy the next few days and we’re also expecting high traffic to MyLotto and the Lotto NZ App. My best piece of advice to players is to get in early to make sure they’re in to win!” says Marie.
Players can buy a ticket for Saturday’s $50 million Powerball draw in-store at any Lotto NZ retailer, online at MyLotto.co.nz or through the Lotto NZ App.NORTHLANDLuckiest store: Hammer Hardware Kawakawa with 13 First Division Lotto Family winsTotal First Division Powerball winners: 6Town/CityYear StoreOutlet StatusPowerball win amountDargaville2002Mags N MoreInactive$ 2,028,152Kaeo2006Kaeo Four SquareActive$ 17,702,362Taipa2019Taipa FoodmarketActive$ 5,000,000Whangarei2001Shell NZ Limited (Kensington)Inactive$ 8,073,9172004KeymanInactive$ 4,085,5152016Sunnyside FoodmarketActive$ 5,000,000AUCKLANDLuckiest store: Berrymans with 27 First Division Lotto Family winsTotal First Division Powerball winners: 61Town/CityYearStoreOutlet StatusPowerball win amountAlbany2016Dairy Flat Food Mart & LiquorActive$ 44,000,000Auckland2001Roskill South Hammer HardwareInactive$ 3,286,2282002Mairangi Bay Dairy & LottoActive$ 6,548,3752003Mangere Bridge United Video & LottoInactive$ 3,890,8152003Pakuranga LottoActive$ 1,000,0002004Eden Foods (St Heliers)Active$ 5,019,6062004Countdown Manukau City MallActive$ 1,000,0002004Chance EnterprisesInactive$ 500,0002004Kelston Digital PhotosActive$ 4,790,3682004Mt Wellington LottoInactive$ 3,523,9102004Coopers Paper Power & LottoInactive$ 1,260,7042005Devonport New WorldActive$ 5,108,8682005Amigo's Dairy, Stationery & LottoActive$ 14,500,0002005Countdown Manukau City MallActive$ 8,838,7132006Countdown LynfieldActive$ 4,333,2772006Countdown Manukau City MallActive$ 3,500,0002006Ponderosa SuperetteActive$ 9,198,1142006Pak N Save Lincoln RoadActive$ 1,000,0002006Motorway Dairy & LottoInactive$ 1,860,7372006Countdown LynfieldActive$ 3,265,9362007Countdown Sylvia ParkInactive$ 1,962,5872007Haywards Paper PowerActive$ 4,436,8712008Westgate PharmacyActive$ 8,000,0002008Westgate PharmacyActive$ 7,500,0002009Manukau Pak 'N SaveActive$ 22,206,9732009Dawson SuperetteActive$ 5,000,0002009Countdown LynfieldActive$ 6,000,0002009Mairangi Bay Dairy & LottoActive$ 3,000,0002010DVD CentralInactive$ 3,000,0002010Dawson SuperetteActive$ 3,000,0002010Magazine City & LottoActive$ 13,290,0122010Bellbird Dairy & LottoActive$ 5,000,0002010MagasceneActive$ 12,658,0362011Hari SuperetteActive$ 11,853,2332011New World New LynnActive$ 2,500,0002011St Lukes LottoInactive$ 6,000,0002012Fix St JamesInactive$ 6,000,0002012Whitcoulls New LynnActive$ 8,000,0002013Botany Junction Four SquareActive$ 10,180,6732014Willy WonkaInactive$ 26,061,8982015Mitchell's Paper PowerActive$ 9,000,0002015Downtown DairyActive$ 9,000,0002017Avondale FoodmarketActive$ 3,500,0002017New World BotanyActive$ 7,000,0002018Paper Plus RemueraActive$ 18,000,0002018New World Albany
