$22 million ways to have the ultimate Kiwi summer with Powerball

There’s $22 million up for grabs tonight with Powerball and Kiwis around the country are taking the time to imagine what they could do if they won big – like planning the ultimate Kiwi summer.

With $22 million in the bank, you could supersize the family Christmas celebrations. Forget secret santa – why not take a leaf from the book of last year’s $15 million winner and pop a cheque inside each Christmas card.

Once the festivities have been taken care of, it’ll be time to head off to the bach for a bit of relaxation – and what better way to kick off the summer than by not sitting in holiday traffic? A Kiwi millionaire could just jump on a helicopter and fly to the bach in style.

Don’t have a bach? No problem. A new multi-millionaire could scoop up a secluded beachfront Kiwi bach, or set their sights abroad on their own private island. How about Society Island in French Polynesia? Inhabited only by birds and surrounded by teeming coral reef, this 19-acre paradise could be yours for just $5.2 million.

After a few days of ‘R n R’, it would be time to ring in the New Year in style. A Powerball winner might like to toast the New Year with a bottle of French champagne – even if you bought the world’s most expensive bottle of champagne, at $1.8 million, there’d still be plenty left in the bank.

With the New Year celebrations done, the winner might like to wind down and reflect on their newfound fortune at a luxury resort. At just over $161,000, a five-night stay at The Hills Lodge in Arrowtown would barely make a dent in the winner’s bank balance.

A new Powerball winner could finish the summer with 2017’s most sought after concert. Forget a ticket to Justin Bieber’s big show, with $22 million in the bank, you could always book him in for an intimate private concert of your own for a cool $1 million.

Whatever tops your Powerball wish-list there’s one thing you need to do first – pick up a ticket. Who knows, one lucky player could soon be making their dreams a reality.

Only 12 players in the history of Powerball have ever won a prize more than $20 million.

Lotto players can buy a ticket for tonight’s $22 million Lotto Powerball draw from any Lotto retailer or online at MyLotto.co.nz.
