Lotto NZ was established in June 1987 and the existing Golden Kiwi lottery came under the Commission 's authority . The first Lotto draw , with a top prize of $359,808 , was held on 1 August 1987 . Over time the range of games were expanded , with Instant Kiwi scratchcards introduced in 1989 ( replacing Golden Kiwi ) , Lotto Strike in 1993 , Keno in 1994 , Powerball in 2001 and Big Wednesday in 2005 . Bullseye introduced in 2009 , Play 3 in 2014 and Instant Play in 2017 . Lotto has previously been worked into two game shows , `` Telebingo '' and `` Risk '' . There were also `` Extra Draws '' on a few occasions in 1998 . In April 2013 a Lotto advertisement featuring a dog stealing his owner 's Lotto ticket because he ditched him for a cat faced a complaint at the Advertising Standards Authority . It was thrown out . Current games ( edit ) All monetary values are in New Zealand dollars . Lotto ( edit ) Lotto is the most popular of the games with a televised draw on TVNZ 1 at approximately 8 : 20pm every Wednesday and 8pm every Saturday night . Originally , the draw was aired on TV2 from the first draw screened in August 1987 until July 2015 when it moved to TV One . The first tickets went on sale on 22 July 1987 and the first draw took place on 1 August 1987 . The televised draw is currently hosted by Sonia Grey and Jordan Vandermade . Main game ( edit ) Lotto odds and prizes Division Matching numbers Odds per line Average Prize 6 numbers 1 in 3,838,380 Over $350,000 5 numbers and bonus ball 1 in 639,730 $19,995 5 numbers 1 in 19,386 $601 4 numbers and bonus ball 1 in 7,754 $55 5 4 numbers 1 in 485 $30 6 3 numbers and bonus ball 1 in 363 $22 7 3 numbers 1 in 35 4 bonus lines ( fixed prize ) In the main game of Lotto , six balls and one bonus ball are drawn from a Ryo Catteau Stresa lottery machine containing 40 balls numbered 1 to 40 . To win First Division ( the top prize ) , one has to simply mark off all six numbers on the same line . Players can buy Lotto tickets by selecting their own numbers using a coupon , or they can have the machine randomly generate their numbers by purchasing a Lotto Dip . Tickets cost $0.70 per line , with a minimum of four lines if playing with a coupon . The least expensive Lotto Dip is the Basic Lucky Dip , which costs $5.60 for eight lines . Changes since introduction ( edit ) Before August 2004 , Lotto tickets cost $0.50 per line . In November 2002 , some changes were made , all of which ( except for the new - look logo and a separate division for four numbers plus the bonus ) were withdrawn in August 2004 . They were : A Guaranteed Millionaire was drawn every week from the First Division winners ( see below ) . This meant that Jackpots and Superdraws were out of the question for 21 months . A second bonus ball was drawn . Extra draws ( edit ) In 1998 , there were several Extra Draws during the year . They worked as follows : Every Lotto ticket purchased for the draw entered the Extra Draw for no extra charge . All the numbers had to match for a share of $1,000,000 cash . Lotto Strike and the bonus ball is not included as well as no other prize divisions . The amount was $1,500,000 on one occasion , which came from an unclaimed ticket sold in Blenheim in October 1997 ( this was known as the Blenheim Bonus . ) Guaranteed millionaires ( edit ) Between November 2002 and August 2004 , a millionaire was drawn every week from all the Division One winners . Sometimes , more than one millionaire was drawn . The rest of the Division One prizes were done as follows : If there were between one and four left , they won $250,000 each . If there were between five and nine left , they won $150,000 each . If there were between 10 and 19 left , they won $100,000 each . If there were 20 or more left , they shared $300,000 between them . However , if there was only one Division One winner to begin with , they automatically won the million , and if nobody matched all six numbers , which only happened once , the millionaire was selected from Division Two . Lotto Strike ( edit ) Introduced 3 April 1993 . A Lotto player may , at a cost of $1 , add to their ticket four Lotto Strike numbers . The objective is to match these numbers , in exact order , with the first four numbers of the Lotto draw . The current minimum jackpot for the `` Strike 4 '' prize is $100,000 , and increases by that amount until won , or until the jackpot reaches $700,000 or the tenth draw without a winner . Division Requirements Odds Average Prize Strike 4 Four Lotto Strike numbers matching the exact order of the first four Lotto numbers drawn 1 in 2,193,360 Over $300,000 Strike 3 Three Lotto Strike numbers match the exact order of any three of the first four Lotto numbers drawn 1 in 15,232 $668 Strike 2 Two Lotto Strike numbers match the exact order of any two of the first four Lotto numbers drawn 1 in 274 $67 Strike 1 One Lotto Strike number matches one of the first four Lotto numbers drawn 1 in 11 1 bonus line ( fixed prize ) Powerball ( edit ) Lotto Powerball odds and prizes Division Matching numbers Odds per line Average prize ( incl . Lotto winnings ) Lotto Division 1 and Powerball 1 in 38,383,800 Over $11 million Lotto Division 2 and Powerball 1 in 6,397,300 $37,252 Lotto Division 3 and Powerball 1 in 193,858 $1,155 Lotto Division 4 and Powerball 1 in 77,543 $107 5 Lotto Division 5 and Powerball 1 in 4846 $57 6 Lotto Division 6 and Powerball 1 in 3635 $40 7 Lotto Division 7 and Powerball 1 in 352 $15 + 4 bonus lines ( fixed prize ) Introduced February 2001 . A line may be `` enhanced '' by the purchase of a Powerball number . If Powerball is played , a minimum of four Powerball numbers must be purchased per ticket , at the cost of $0.80 per line . The Powerball number is a number between 1 and 10 , drawn from a separate machine from the main Lotto draw . If the winning Powerball number is on the same line as a winning line of Lotto , the ticket holder wins a share of the Powerball prize pool in addition to the prize won from the main Lotto draw . To win first division Powerball , the winner must first win Lotto first division , and have the winning Powerball number on the same line . The prize for first division is very large : a minimum of $4 million , but with the chances of winning one - tenth of the odds of winning an equivalent prize in the main draw . Powerball First Division can jackpot to a maximum of $50 million . Once the limit is met or passed , a `` Must Be Won '' draw must be held in which , if First Division is not won , the First Division jackpot must be split amongst the winners of the next highest division for which there are winners . When introduced , the Powerball number was originally drawn from eight numbers , and the minimum prize was $1 million . The maximum jackpot , which initially was $15 million , was gradually raised to $30 million . In October 2007 , Powerball was changed to ten numbers and the minimum prize was changed to $3 million . On 3 October 2010 , the price per line was raised from $0.50 to $0.60 , to cover the cost of the rise in GST from 12.5 % to 15 % , and to increase the minimum prize to $4 million . In October 2015 , Division 7 was introduced and the maximum jackpot increased from $30 million to $40 million . In April 2017 , the price per line changed from $0.60 to $0.80 . Draw machine ( edit ) Powerball is drawn with one of two Ryo Catteau Mimosa machine . The balls are introduced and the winning number captured and presented through a clear vertical tube in the centre of the machine . On several occasions , the machine has been known to fail to draw a number on - air , resulting in the Powerball number having to be re-drawn off - air under auditor scrutiny . These include : 25 October 2014 : The machine failed to draw a winning number on - air . The audited off - air draw resulted in 4 drawn as the winning number . 15 July 2017 : The number 6 initially was captured but was knocked out of the tube during the presentation . The draw was aborted , and the audited off - air draw resulted in 1 drawn as the winning number . Winning Wheel ( edit ) Introduced August 2004 . Every Lotto ticket has a 16 - digit Winning Wheel number ( e.g. 123 - 45678901 - 20XX ) which is the same as the ticket 's serial number , except that the two digit checksum is replaced with XX for security reasons . Every draw , a serial number is drawn at random . The winner is awarded an all expenses paid trip to the studio in Auckland where they appear on the show and spin the eponymous wheel to determine their prize . The two - metre diameter wheel has 30 segments , each segment carrying either a cash prize ranging from $100,000 to $1 million , or non-cash prizes such as cars , shopping sprees and a $500,000 house and land package . If someone does not wish to appear on the Winning Wheel , they may nominate a person to spin the wheel on their behalf , or they may take the minimum guaranteed prize of $25,000 . Entry into the draw for the Winning Wheel is automatic for all Lotto and Lotto Powerball tickets . Lotto Strike tickets are excluded , as they have a serial number ending in 12XX , not 20XX . The Winning Wheel ended on July 4 , 2015 . Keno ( edit ) Following the format of the popular bingo hall game , Keno draws are made daily at 10am , 1pm , 3pm and 6pm . Tickets cost between $1 and $100 per line . The top prize for matching 10 numbers from 10 is $250,000 for a $1 wager , with a maximum prize of $1 million available . Bullseye ( edit ) Lotto Bullseye odds and prizes Division Requirements Odds per line Average Prize Bullseye number 1 in 1,000,000 $180,000 Number 1 to 5 either side of Bullseye number 1 in 100,000 $10,000 Number 6 to 50 either side of Bullseye number 1 in 11,111 $500 Number 51 to 500 either side of Bullseye number 1 in 1,111 $100 5 Number 501 to 5000 either side of Bullseye number 1 in 111 $25 6 Number 5001 to 50000 either side of Bullseye number 1 in 11 $2 bonus ticket Bullseye is a daily lottery game , launched on 19 October 2009 . The winning number is drawn at 6pm and results are available online and in - store at 6 : 10pm . One selects a six - digit number between 000000 and 999999 , or gets the Lotto terminal to randomly select a number , and the aim is to get as close as possible to the Bullseye number . Tickets are $2 each number for one day , and $10 for one number for seven days . If one matches the Bullseye number exactly , they win first division and the top prize of a minimum $100,000 . The first division jackpot has a maximum threshold of $400,000 . If this threshold is reached , the next game will be a `` must be won '' draw ; if no one wins the first division , the jackpot will go to the winners in the next highest division . Lesser prizes are won if one 's number is up to 50,000 either side of the Bullseye , with prizes increasing in value as one 's number gets closer to the Bullseye number . For the purposes of winning , the numbers are viewed as circular , with 999999 followed by 000000 ( e.g. if the winning number was 975555 , the winning range would be 925555 to 025555 ) . Instant Kiwi ( edit ) Instant Kiwi is Lotto NZ 's series of scratchcards . Introduced in 1989 to replace the Golden Kiwi , Instant Kiwi has evolved over 21 years to its current format of four ticket groups and five price levels . It is one of two Lotto NZ games with a purchase age restriction and minor prize claim age restriction -- it is illegal to sell Instant Kiwi tickets to those under 18 years of age . From mid-2010 , tickets are broken up into four major groups : Easy As : entry - level short play games Rapidfire : mid-level short play games Break Time : mid-level long play games Challenge : advanced - level long play games There are five pricing levels , with the higher - priced levels having larger prizes . The price - to - prize structure is same across all games . $1 tickets -- maximum prize $10,000 $2 tickets -- maximum prize $20,000 $3 tickets -- maximum prize $40,000 or $50,000 $5 tickets -- maximum prize $75,000 or $100,000 $10 tickets -- maximum prize $250,000 From 2015 to 2017 , Instant Kiwi introduced a 2nd Chance draw where players could win $1,000 cash with non-winning Instant Kiwi tickets .

Instant Play is the digital version of Instant Kiwi , which was introduced on MyLotto.co.nz on Monday 4 December 2017 . All games cost from $0.50 to $5.00 with top prizes ranging from $4,000 to $100,000 . Players can either try or purchase a game for Instant Play . Same as Instant Kiwi , players will have to be 18 + to play . Retired games ( edit ) Telebingo ( edit ) Telebingo ran from February 1996 to June 2001 . There were two components , a lottery and a game show . The original timeslot was on TV ONE at 8 pm on a Wednesday , but later in its run , it was moved around . In late 1999 , Telebingo was also re-aired at 3 : 30 pm the next day . The hosts were Simon Barnett and Ingrid Mole . Barnett was later replaced by Grant Walker . Lottery ( edit ) Between 34 and 75 numbers were drawn from 75 . Viewers at home had to match the numbers on - screen with numbers on a mini bingo board . These could be purchased at $2 each for a minimum of two tickets . There were three divisions : Four Corners : If you got each of the three corner numbers ( the other was just a tick ) before 27 numbers had been called , you won Four Corners . Cross : If you got the eight numbers that made a diagonal cross before 34 numbers had been called , you won Cross . Bingo . The big one -- they keep drawing numbers until a Bingo winner has been found . If there was one before 34 numbers had been called , they kept going until 34 numbers were called . The record was 37 Bingo winners . If there were no winners in a division , the respective prize pool was carried over to the next division . Game show ( edit ) Three contestants appeared on the show . They started with $125 and a corner square , they earned $25 and another corner square for every question right and lost $25 ( but not their corner square ) for every question wrong . At the Cross round , they were given two squares as a head - start towards Cross . After Cross was earned , random squares were given with every correct answer until either a viewer or a contestant got Bingo . There were two possible outcomes as to the end : If a contestant got Bingo first , they kept going until a viewer got Bingo , and then any contestants who got Bingo would come away with double their final total . If a viewer got Bingo first , it went to `` Run For Your Money '' , in which the contestants had 60 seconds to get Bingo , and anyone who got it would come away with double their final total . The contestant with the most money then went to a memory board , where he or she had to reveal two matching squares to get a certain prize , and then he or she had the option of taking away the prizes or risking them for more the next week . Risk ( edit ) Risk ran from July 2001 to February 2002 . Draw numbers started from where Telebingo numbers left off . The show was on TV ONE in a more consistent time slot , at 7 : 30 pm on a Wednesday . The show was hosted by Jon Bridges . Lottery ( edit ) Twenty - five numbers from 1 to 90 were drawn . The objective was to match one of the following : The 12 numbers in Game ' R ' The 9 numbers in Game ' S ' The 6 numbers in Game ' K ' The 3 numbers in Game ' I ' All panels except Game ' R ' had one or more $ signs which could be marked off immediately . A number could appear on two panels on a single ticket . The game - board looked like this : ( the $ signs are only there to show how many there were ) XXX -- - $ -- - X -- - X -- - -- - XXX -- - X -- - X -- X -- - X -- - X -- - X -- X -- - -- XXXX -- $ -- X -- - -- XX -- - -- X $ -- $ -- - -- -- - -- XXX -- - XXX -- X -- $ -- Game ' R ' jackpotted if not won . There was a team colour printed on each ticket . If that team won , then all tickets bearing that colour went into a draw for a cash prize . Game show ( edit ) Three teams of two contestants ( namely Red , Yellow and Purple ) were spotted $500 ( $300 in the first few episodes ) to begin the game with . Correct answers were worth $50 , and incorrect answers were penalized by that amount . After two rounds , the team in third place was eliminated , and at the end of the last round , only one team prevailed . Big Wednesday ( edit ) Big Wednesday odds and prizes Division Matching numbers Odds per Line Average Prize 6 numbers and coin toss 1 in 31,781,400 $4,000,000 ( incl . non cash prizes ) Minimum 6 numbers ( incorrect coin toss ) 1 in 31,781,400 $87,000 5 numbers 1 in 60,192 $1000 4 numbers 1 in 1,120 $20 5 3 numbers and coin toss 1 in 120 $12 6 3 numbers ( incorrect coin toss ) 1 in 120 $4 bonus ticket The Big Wednesday draw was introduced in October 2005 , and was televised on TVNZ 1 each Wednesday , at approximately 8 : 20 pm . Offering substantial non-cash prizes , such as luxury cars , atop a significant cash prize ( minimum value of $3.5 million ) , it was marketed as an opportunity to win `` the ultimate lifestyle '' . Lines were $1 each , with ( like the main Lotto game ) a minimum of four lines per ticket . The mechanism of the draw was similar to Lotto , with players trying to correctly guess the six numbers drawn . However , there were 50 balls for Big Wednesday , not 40 , and the game had the added feature of a `` coin toss '' ; along with the numbers , players must predict heads or tails . A player matching all six numbers will only win the jackpot if they correctly guess the outcome of the coin toss . The odds on winning the jackpot were 1 in 31,781,400 . However , if the player did not match the coin toss , they would win Second Division , which consisted of a smaller jackpotting cash prize . As with Lotto , players could also have their numbers selected for them by the machine by purchasing a Big Wednesday `` Dip '' . The Basic Big Wednesday Dip cost $6.00 . Players could opt to select either heads , tails or random heads / tails . A popular option was a Big Wednesday Dip with both heads and tails , which produced two tickets with the same numbers , one ticket with `` heads '' on all line and one ticket with `` tails '' on all lines , which ensured that if the player matched all the numbers , they would win both First and Second Division . Effective from the draw on 14 September 2011 , the number of balls was increased from 45 to 50 , lengthening the Division 1 ( and 2 ) odds to 1 in 31,781,400 . The Division 5 prize ( for three correct numbers , previously winning a Lucky Dip entry ) was split into new Division 5 for a matched coin toss , now winning a cash prize , and Division 6 for an incorrect coin toss prediction , winning a four - line Lucky Dip entry . Big Wednesday ended on 30 September 2015 , with a Must Be Won draw . Jackpot ( edit ) The original format of Big Wednesday saw the first draw 's jackpot consist of $2 million cash and two luxury cars . If not won , non-cash prizes were added to the jackpot for the next four weeks , after which the cash component then increased until the jackpot reached a combined cash value of $30 million . At this point , a `` Must Be Won '' draw would be held , with the jackpot divided amongst lower division winners if Division 1 was not won . Some of the `` non-cash '' prizes -- namely , the travel and bach components -- were paid as cash ( via cheque or direct credit ) ; the other prizes could be paid as cash at Lotto NZ 's discretion , including : if the winner did not fulfill certain conditions for receiving a prize in kind ( for example , being under the age of 18 , or not being a permanent New Zealand resident ) , or where there was more than one winner of the jackpot prize in a single draw ( normally Division 1 , however it could also be divided amongst a lower division in a Must Be Won draw ) ; the cash value of the non-cash prizes being divided equally amongst all winners . Effective 14 September 2011 , the jackpot prize was changed so all of the non-cash prizes are made available from the first draw in a jackpot sequence ( although with some of the `` non-cash '' prizes reduced in value ) . The advertised `` cash '' component then increased with every jackpot draw until won ( or the $30 million `` Must Be Won '' threshold is reached ) . The minimum jackpot prize consisted as follows : $2 million cash Two luxury cars ( currently an Audi Q7 and Lamborghini Gallardo ) , a Visa Platinum credit card with $50,000 of credit , a $50,000 cash prize intended towards luxury travel , a Rayglass 2200 boat , a $675,000 cash prize intended towards a bach . Online sales ( edit ) On 26 May 2008 Lotto NZ launched MyLotto , an online sales channel providing an alternative to the traditional retail outlet for players of Lotto , Keno , Bullseye and Play 3 . Instant Kiwi products are not available on MyLotto . Players must register to use the service , and add funds to their account via internet banking or credit card before purchasing tickets . There is a maximum spending limit of $150 a week or $500 a month ; players can choose a lower spending limit if they wish , and can block themselves from participation in any of the games . MyLotto operates between 6.30 am and 11 pm Monday , Tuesday , Thursday , Friday and Sunday , and between 6.30 am and midnight on Wednesday and Saturday . As with tickets purchased at retail outlets , players have the options of playing a Dip , selecting their own numbers and players can save their favourite numbers for future use . Additionally , players can choose a subscription to play weekly . Claim of prizes ( edit ) Bonus tickets and cash prizes up to and including $1,000 can be claimed at any Lotto outlet by presenting and surrendering the ticket , and the prize is paid out from the terminal . All non-cash prizes and cash prizes over $1,000 can be claimed at any Lotto outlet by presenting and surrendering the ticket . The bearer must complete a Prize Claim form , which is sent along with the ticket to Lotto NZ in Auckland for the claim of the prize . Winners of large prizes often bypass the Lotto outlet and go straight to Lotto NZ 's head office in Auckland . Claiming prizes over $5,000 and special draw prizes cause the processing Lotto terminal to lock for security reasons , and the terminal operator must call Lotto NZ to unlock the terminal , giving Lotto NZ staff a chance to talk to the winners . Prizes must be claimed within 12 months of the draw ( or close of the game for Instant Kiwi ) , otherwise the prize is void and the unclaimed money goes back into the prize pool . Records ( edit ) Largest prize The largest prize won by a single ticket was $44,066,667 , in the Powerball draw of 9 November 2016 ( draw 1593 ) . The winning ticket was sold at Dairy Flat Food Mart in Auckland . The prize was made up of $44,000,000 in Powerball and $66,667 in Lotto . Most tickets sold The greatest number of tickets sold for a draw was for the aforementioned Powerball draw of 9 November 2016 ( draw 1593 ) . Most winners The record for the most First Division winners in one draw was set on 11 September 1993 ( draw 320 ) , when 38 people won First Division . Each winner received $35,937 . The main contributing factor was all the winning numbers were between 31 and 38 , with the bonus number the only number to fall outside the group ( 11 ) .
