Frequently asked
What are the Lotto prize divisions?
Lotto pays out across 6 prize tiers. Division 1 (the jackpot) is reserved for entries matching every main number. Lower divisions reward partial matches, with prize amounts decreasing as the match requirements ease.
What's the minimum jackpot?
NZ$1M — when no Division 1 winner is found, the prize rolls into the next Lotto draw and the jackpot grows. The largest historical jackpot we track for Lotto is NZ$1M (Must Be Won).
What were the latest Lotto division payouts?
Latest Lotto draw paid 7 divisions. Division 1 won — total NZ$333,333.
How are prize amounts calculated?
Most Lotto divisions are pari-mutuel: a fixed percentage of the prize pool is split equally among that division's winners. With more winners in a tier, each ticket gets less; with fewer winners, more. Some lower divisions or jackpot-side games may use a fixed-prize structure instead.
How do I claim a Lotto prize?
Claim through the official Lotto NZ, not through this site. Smaller prizes can usually be paid at any authorised retailer; larger amounts require contacting the lottery operator directly with the original ticket and ID. Claim windows commonly run 90–180 days from the draw date.
Are Lotto prizes taxed?
Lotto (NZ) prizes are paid free of New Zealand income tax. As with any windfall, recipients should consider tax on subsequent investment earnings.
Are the prize numbers on this page official?
Numbers shown are aggregated from public draw broadcasts and operator pages. Always reconcile against Lotto NZ's own record before claiming any prize. We do not pay prizes and have no affiliation with the operating lottery.
