The winner of Saturday night’s Lotto Powerball jackpot has yet to come forward and claim their $44 million prize.

A single Auckland ticket won the mammoth total on Saturday night, equalling the biggest single-winner in Lotto history in New Zealand.

Their total prize for the ticket bought on MyLotto was $44,066,667, and it included a one-fifteenth share of the Division One prize.
