The legality of online lottery in New Zealand is regulated by the Lottery Grants Board, an autonomous Crown entity. The agency distributes the profits from all New Zealand’s national and regional lotteries to a number of community organizations and charities.

New Zealand’s main lotteries include Lotto, Keno, Bullseye and Instant Kiwi scratch cards.

While the odds of winning a lottery prize are slim, it is important to remember that responsible play can help players enjoy their experience without risking their financial or emotional well-being. If you find yourself spending more than your budget or becoming obsessive about the game, it is important to take a step back and seek help.
