Record $44m Powerball jackpot must be won at the same time the US chooses Trump or ClintonMARTIN DE RUYTER/FAIRFAX NZ Rhonda Pyatt from Nelson's Black Cat Store, where a previous lucky Lotto ticket was sold, with one punter netting $4 million from Powerball. He said in a "Must Be Won" draw, if no single ticket wins Powerball First Division the prize pool rolls down to the next highest division with winners. In July, three players from Hamilton, Te Awamutu and Dunedin shared a "Must Be Won" Powerball jackpot of $40 million, taking home $13.3 million each. So far in 2016, 31 Kiwis have become overnight Lotto millionaires, including the eight people who won big with Powerball first division. This year, two Powerball winners came from Dunedin and the remainder from Ashburton, Ohakune, Tauranga, Timaru, Hamilton and Kawhia.
