Lotto: Numbers drawn for Powerball's mind-blowing $37 million jackpot

Have you struck gold in Lotto's Wednesday night draw?

Powerball has hit a mind-blowing $37 million, after it rolled over again from Saturday's draw.

Tonight's numbers are: 17, 29, 7, 19, 38, 36 with bonus ball 20.

Powerball is 5.

Strike Four also rolled over so $1 million is up for grabs on Wednesday - in a Must Be Won draw.

It comes after an Ōtautahi/Christchurch couple banked Aotearoa's third-biggest Powerball win ever in June - a cool $33.5 million.

The Powerball jackpot has been increasing every week since then.'

Lotto expects about 1.2 million tickets to be bought for Wednesday's draw, so they're urging players to get their tickets early.

"At all times, Lotto NZ encourages our customers to play a little, dream a lot. We know high jackpots can be exciting but remember – it only takes one ticket to win," the spokesperson said

The biggest-ever prize for a Powerball draw was in November 2016, when a player in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland won an unbelievable $44 million.

And Pōkeno in Waikato was abuzz in October 2021, when a Lotto player there banked a phenomenal $42 million - the second-biggest win in New Zealand lotto history.
