The chances aren't high, but if you bought a Lotto ticket this week there is a possibility that you might not need to go into work tomorrow. Or the next day. Or, in fact, ever again.
That's because this week's draw has reached a staggering $14 million. And who wouldn't want to see that figure on their bank statement?
So what would you do with your winnings? Buy a new car? A house? A small island?
Well, before you get too carried away and send an angry resignation letter to your boss, it's probably best to check the numbers first.
Tonight's winning numbers were 16, 10, 1, 18, 26 and 27. The Bonus ball was 30; the Powerball was 8.
Tonight's $14 million prize money comes after more than a month with no first division winners.The last big win was on June 15, with one lucky punter pocketing over $10 million.
The largest win in the country's history was in 2016, when a young couple from the Hibiscus Coast bagged $44 million.
Earlier this year Unichem Stortford Lodge Pharmacy in Hastings was confirmed to be the luckiest place in the country to buy a ticket, selling 47 winners. That was followed by Richmond Night n Day in Nelson, with 34 winning tickets to its name.
