With $25 million up for grabs this weekend, many Bay of Plenty locals will be dreaming of how the Powerball jackpot could change their lives.

But after the house, car and boat are taken care of, what could a new Powerball millionaire set their sights on in the Bay? Here are 10 ideas to get you started.

  • You could have your own property empire after buying 41 houses in Tauranga at the current average value.
  • Enjoy the local luxury of the entire French Country House in Whakamarama for only $2,250 a night.
  • Throw the city a New Year's Eve party at the Mount for the next 30 years.
  • Hire Tauranga chef Peter Blakeway to cook all your meals. For life.
  • Buy about three and a half million Trustpower shares.
  • Shout everyone in Tauranga a VIP 2-day pass to the One Love Festival.
  • Put up a seven-figure reward for the return of Harry the Shitzu cross.
  • Help Linley out with her $100.
  • Buy up all the stock at United Video Cherrywood (or maybe keep it open).
  • Or, if you're not the materialistic type, you could divvie it up among any of the numerous local charities doing good work in our community.

Only six players in the history of Powerball have ever won a prize over $25 million.
