Lotto's third-biggest Powerball prize in history is up for grabs on Wednesday night, and the numbers have just been drawn.

Tonight's numbers are 13, 15, 23, 22, 33, and 2, with bonus ball 32.

Powerball is 3.

If won tonight by a single player, they'll become one of the biggest lottery winners in Aotearoa history.

The jackpot has been steadily building every week since the last big win in April, when a "modest" family from Pōneke/Wellington took home $30 million.

"We know what it's like to go through hard times, so this win will make all of our lives that bit easier," the anonymous family said in a statement.

And in August last year, the Kāpiti town of Paraparaumu was buzzing after a local won $37 million - thanks to a last-minute craving for chocolate.

The top Powerball prize ever won was $44 million, back in November 2016.

The young couple who won from Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland said the haul was going to change their lives "epically".
