The Top 5 Biggest Powerball Winners

• $50.2 Million – The draw on February 29, 2020, was the first one ever to reach the maximum amount of $50 million. That record jackpot was split between two winners, both from Auckland, and one of them had played it online. The other one was a mother who claimed the ticket after losing a night of sleep searching for paradises to visit and a new car.
• $50 Million – Almost six months after the first time the jackpot ever reached $50 million, the must-be-won draw of 15 August 2020 had no winner, and ten lucky Second Division winners shared it. Another record was broken: the biggest number of must-be-won rolldown winners.
• $44 Million – A young couple from Auckland received the biggest jackpot up to that point in time on 9 November 2016. Although they were saving for their first house, they kept playing and finally won that millionaire prize. They heard about it on the radio.
• $38.2 million – Two winners shared NZ$38.2 million. One of them was a family from South Auckland who had only recently purchased the ticket a couple of minutes before the draw. On the other hand, the woman who also won the jackpot played it in advance, and she kept the same combination for months until getting it.
• $38 million – One of the two winners risked a lot by driving for the whole weekend with the ticket under his seat. Believe it or not, the first thing he did after realizing he had won was to swim in the cool waters of Snell’s Beach.
