Save The big prize went begging last night as no one claimed the $20 million Lotto Powerball jackpot.
Excitement mounted in the hours leading up to last night's draw, with Auckland dairy owners reporting higher-than-usual sales.
Queues built from 6.30pm at Auckland's Richmond Rd Superette, said store owner Dela Barnard.
At
Grey Lynn Stationers, local resident Toka Urirau was among the customers keeping fingers crossed after forking out for a shot at the jackpot.
The last time Powerball was struck was on December 31, when an Auckland man won $5.5m on a ticket bought at Grand Superette in Orewa.
