Powerball's jackpot has hit double digits after nobody took home the big prize in tonight's Lotto draw.

A $10 million prize will now be up for grabs during Saturday's special draw, which will raise funds for Kaikoura earthquake relief.

Tonight's Lotto draw wasn't without big winners, however, after a player who bought their ticket in Auckland won $100,000 on Strike Four.

The winning ticket was sold at Mitchell's Paper Power in Northcote.

Lotto NZ chief executive Wayne Pickup said all profits from Saturday's draw would be to the Kaikoura/Hurunui earthquake relief fund.

"Kiwis love playing Lotto to help support our communities, and the Kaikoura community is in need of help right now," he said.

"We know that Lotto players will be glad to have the opportunity to help Kaikoura through their weekly ticket purchase."
