New Zealand Lottery
The national lottery in New Zealand is controlled by the government through an autonomous Crown entity, Lotto New Zealand. The proceeds from the Lotto are distributed by the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board directly to charities and community organizations. In addition, Lotto New Zealand operates the national Keno and scratchcard games. In addition, the profits from these two lotteries are used to support sporting and cultural activities.
In Canada, a lotteries are regulated at a provincial level. The federal Liberal government introduced a special law in 1967 (an Omnibus Bill) to bring up-to-date a number of obsolete laws. The law included a clause concerning lotteries. This led to a great deal of controversy. Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau, for example, offered a $2.00 “voluntary tax” that was billed as a lottery. In return for a donation, participants could enter a drawing to win silver bars instead of cash. The Minister of Justice argued that this was a lottery, but the Quebec court disagreed and ruled in favor of Drapeau.
Laos has a similar situation, with state officials manipulating the country’s lottery to avoid large pay-outs, sources told RFA’s Lao Service. Drawings frequently show numbers that don’t appear on purchased tickets, or that are deemed unlucky and unlikely to be drawn. Lottery officials also allegedly sell more tickets than they have the capacity to process, in order to maximize their profit margins. The private business interests behind the national lottery include members of the ruling elite, sources said. The government should reclaim control of the national lottery, because it isn’t being properly managed, they added.
