Lotto fever is still running high after two Aucklands won a staggering $25.11 million each earlier this month.
The newfound multi-millionaires split the biggest prize in Lotto history since it debuted in New Zealand on August 1, 1987.
Lotto Powerball jackpotted to the mouth-watering $50m after it wasn't struck on "Big Wednesday" – when the kitty had reached $42m. The $50m figure is the cap limit that Powerball is allowed to reach in New Zealand.
A staggering 2000 tickets were being sold a minute in the hours leading up to the 8pm draw.
