The chance to play US PowerBall online has now been made possible through Lottoland. The online betting broker has bought the US-based PowerBall over to Kiwi shores, and has given the citizens of Aotearoa the chance to snag that elusive jackpot.

PowerBall is a multi-state US lottery famous for its often super-sized jackpots. The lottery usually starts with a bare minimum of $40 million ($54 million NZD) and goes up to impossible heights from there. The current record stands at a high of US$1.59 billion!

PowerBall holds the current record for biggest jackpot pay-out, recorded with its US counterpart MegaMillions. The highest pay-out in record so far occured on January 13, 2016, where about US$1.6 billion ($2.18 billion NZD) was paid out to 3 lucky players of the international lotteries.

The selection process is rather easy. Punters pick their choice of numbers from 1-69 and an additional ‘PowerBall’ number from anywhere between 1-26. People can select to play PowerBall—or not—by choosing the PowerPlay option or ticking the ‘PowerPlay’ marked box.

With record-setting jackpots like these, it would be a mistake not to try PowerBall out at least once! Even the starting jackpot, $40 million, is already a significant amount, and there is no cap to how high the jackpots can become. In fact, PowerBall has been credited for some of the highest PowerBall results online or all time, with each surpassing $500 million US ($680 million NZD).

So what are you waiting for? Try out your luck in PowerBall, one of the many games available at Lottoland. For other choices, you can visit https://www.lottoland.com/nz/ right now!
