New Zealand Powerball Results & Winning Numbers

Playing New Zealand Powerball is straightforward. You'll pick 6 numbers from 1 to 40, then add one Powerball from 1 to 10. Can't decide? Go with Quick Pick and let the terminal choose random numbers for you. Drawings happen Wednesday and Saturday at 8:20 PM Pacific/Auckland, and you win by matching numbers to the drawn results. The more you match, the bigger your prize. Match all 6 plus the Powerball, and you've hit the jackpot.

Visit any authorized New Zealand Lottery retailer, most convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores sell tickets. Tell the clerk you want Powerball, or use a self-service terminal if available. You can pick your own numbers or ask for Quick Pick. Tickets cost NZ$0.80 per play. Make sure to buy before the sales cutoff, which is 7:30 PM Pacific/Auckland on drawing days. Always check your ticket before leaving the store.

New Zealand offers an official lottery app and website, but not all games may be available for online purchase. Check the official MyLotto App or New Zealand Lottery website to see if Powerball is currently available for online purchase. If available online, you'll need to create an account, verify you're physically located in New Zealand, and follow the app's purchase process. Tickets purchased through the official app are the same as those bought at retail locations.

A standard New Zealand Powerball ticket costs NZ$0.80 per play. Want more chances? Buy multiple plays on one ticket. Most retailers accept cash and debit cards. The minimum purchase is one play.
