Saturday's live Lotto draw will be moved to a different television channel for one night as the Powerball jackpot rolls over to $23 million.

Powerball was not struck in last night's draw, once again being offered on Saturday night.

Instead of its usual spot on TVNZ 1, the live draw will be aired on TVNZ 2 at 8pm. TVNZ 1 will instead be airing the Black Caps' first T20 against England, which will also be shown live and free on TVNZ+.

Meanwhile, one strike player from Papamoa is $200,000 richer after winning Strike Four in Wednesday's draw.

The winning ticket was sold at Papamoa Super Seven in the Bay of Plenty.
