Coverage and methodology

How we calculate jackpot trends

This page analyzes advertised jackpot movement for covered New Zealand lottery games using official draw records from the past 12 months. Current amounts come from prize-tracking updates; trend cards combine every tracked draw schedule in a game family when multiple schedules exist.

How to read the metrics

  • 12-month high

    The largest advertised jackpot recorded in the tracked window for that game family, not an all-time record.

  • Average jackpot

    The mean advertised jackpot across every tracked drawing in the 12-month sample for that game.

  • vs. average

    How far the current advertised jackpot sits above or below that 12-month average, expressed as a percentage.

  • Rollover streak

    The number of consecutive recent drawings where the advertised jackpot stayed flat or grew without resetting to a lower base amount.

What not to infer

  • Fixed top-prize games with no meaningful prize movement in recent draws are excluded from trend cards because a flat line is not useful jackpot analysis.
  • Jackpot families with fewer than two tracked prize observations in the window are omitted from the history section until enough data exists.
  • Advertised jackpots are operator estimates and can change close to a drawing cutoff. Confirm final posted amounts with the official lottery source before buying.
  • Trend analysis describes past prize movement only. It does not predict the next jackpot amount or suggest when a prize is due to be won.

How is the next jackpot amount estimated?

Advertised jackpots are estimates set by the lottery operator before each drawing, based on expected ticket sales and any amount rolled over from previous draws. The final posted amount can change close to the drawing cutoff, so confirm with the official source if you are buying near a deadline.

How often do jackpot amounts update on this page?

Jackpot and top-prize values refresh whenever prize-tracking data updates, typically after each drawing. The 12-month history reflects tracked drawings only and is not a complete record of every jackpot in the game's history.
