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.
If Wednesday's draw is won by a single ticket holder, the prize will be the largest ever won in New Zealand.
That record is currently held by a Big Wednesday player who in July 2009 bought the winning ticket from Kuripuni Lotto and Post Shop in Masterton.
