Lotto NZ Jackpot
Lotto NZ is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday at 8pm New Zealand time. The odds of winning the Jackpot are 1 in 53,737,320.
Will someone win the next Jackpot?
The Jackpot for the draw on Wednesday 4 November is NZ$8M, and we estimate around 5.5 million lines will be sold. That's based on the 15 past draws with the closest Jackpots, from NZ$7M to NZ$10M.
The more lines are sold, the more likely the Jackpot is won, but also the more likely it is shared. If yours wins, there's a 10% chance that someone else wins too. The take-home amount allows for that. Lottery prizes in New Zealand are tax free!
Curious how we estimate ticket sales? We explain it in how many Powerball entries are sold.

The Jackpot was last won on 24 October 2026, when a single ticket won NZ$15M. Since then, it has rolled over 2 times.
