The winner of tonight's record-breaking must-win Powerball could be walking among us

Numbers are currently being drawn for the $55-million jackpot: Lotto NZ's largest ever prize.

Odds are about one in 38-million that you hold the winning line, but that hasn't stopped hopefuls around the country lining up for tickets.

It'll be business as usual for Lotto regular Neil if his numbers come up, and he plans on telling only close friends and family.

He says he might even stick it out at his current job until his contract ends, and then disappear.
