A lucky Christchurch resident was the sole winner of Wednesday’s massive Lotto Powerball jackpot of $33.5. This marks the ninth multimillion-dollar Powerball prize won in 2023.

Can New Zealanders join the US Powerball?
The short answer is yes! You can buy official US Powerball tickets through online lottery sites like LottoGo.com which we covered in a previous article. As of today, the jackpot now stands at over $1 billion!
