Everything you need to know about playing New Zealand Lotto
Playing New Zealand Lotto is straightforward. You'll pick 6 numbers from 1 to 40, then add one Bonus Ball from 1 to 40. Can't decide? Go with Quick Pick and let the terminal choose random numbers for you. Drawings happen Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 20:00:00 Pacific/Auckland, and you win by matching numbers to the drawn results. The more you match, the bigger your prize. Match all 6 plus the Bonus Ball, and you've hit the jackpot.
Visit any authorized New Zealand Lottery retailer, most convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores sell tickets. Tell the clerk you want Lotto, or use a self-service terminal if available. You can pick your own numbers or ask for Quick Pick. Tickets cost NZ$0.70 per play. Make sure to buy before the sales cutoff, which is 19:30:00 Pacific/Auckland on drawing days. Always check your ticket before leaving the store.
New Zealand offers an official lottery app and website, but not all games may be available for online purchase. Check the official MyLotto App or New Zealand Lottery website to see if Lotto is currently available for online purchase. If available online, you'll need to create an account, verify you're physically located in New Zealand, and follow the app's purchase process. Tickets purchased through the official app are the same as those bought at retail locations.
A standard New Zealand Lotto ticket costs NZ$0.70 per play. Want more chances? Buy multiple plays on one ticket. Most retailers accept cash and debit cards. The minimum purchase is one play.
Lotto drawings happen Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at 20:00:00 Pacific/Auckland. That gives you 6 chances to win each week. Ticket sales close at 19:30:00 Pacific/Auckland on drawing nights. If you buy a multi-draw ticket, it'll play the same numbers for consecutive drawings. You can purchase tickets for up to multiple future drawings at once. This is great if you've got lucky numbers you play consistently.
The odds of hitting the New Zealand Lotto jackpot are 1 in 3,838,380. That's tough, sure, but you've got 7 ways to win. Matching 3 numbers offers much better odds at 1 in 35.
Lotto is exclusive to New Zealand. You'll need to be physically present in New Zealand to buy tickets, either at a retail location or through a licensed courier service while you're in-state.
