What is the Difference Between New Zealand Lotto and NZ Powerball Lotto?

NZ Lotto's huge popularity led lottery officials to create the Powerball Lotto. While they might seem like two totally separate lotteries, they are actually the exact same game, with a very rewarding twist! NZ Powerball is a play option that can be added to a Lotto entry. Playing this variation of the Lotto will give you a chance at winning prizes from seven additional prize divisions. This option is similar to Powerball’s Power Play option, or the Italian SuperStar.

To win the Powerball Lotto, players must match the 6 winning Lotto numbers, in addition to a Powerball number which is drawn from a guess range of 1-10. One great thing about playing Powerball Lotto is that Lotto's bonus number is still counted; meaning players get to win from double the number of prize divisions!

The biggest difference between them is the jackpot prize. While the Lotto jackpot stands at NZ$1 million in every draw, Powerball Lotto jackpot starts at NZ$4 million and can reach an incredible before it needs to be won.

How Does the NZ Powerball Compare to the US Powerball?

The New Zealand Powerball requires the same number of selections as the Australia Powerball (6+1), as opposed to the US Powerball which uses 5+1. However, the NZ Powerball distinguishes itself with its use of a bonus number and a 1-10 guess range for its Powerball. Although its jackpots are far smaller than the US Powerball, this New Zealand lottery offers 14 prize divisions and fantastic winning odds!
