New Zealand Lottery Number Generators

New Zealand's lotteries are operated by Lotto NZ, a government-owned entity established in 1987. The flagship game is simply called Lotto, drawing every Wednesday and Saturday. Powerball is played as an add-on to the main Lotto draw — you pick an extra number from 1–10 to win the Powerball jackpot on top of the Lotto prizes. Strike is another popular add-on, requiring players to match 4 numbers in exact order. Keno draws every few minutes throughout the day. All New Zealand lottery prizes are tax-free.

Frequently asked questions about New Zealand lotteries

How does New Zealand Powerball work?
NZ Powerball is played as an add-on to the standard Lotto draw. You pay extra to add a Powerball number (1–10) to your Lotto ticket. To win the Powerball jackpot, you must first match all 6 Lotto numbers, then also match the Powerball. Jackpots start at $4 million NZD.
Are NZ lottery winnings taxable?
No. Lottery prizes in New Zealand are completely tax-free. The Inland Revenue Department does not treat lottery winnings as income.
What is the difference between NZ Lotto and NZ Strike?
NZ Lotto requires you to match 6 numbers in any order from 1–40. NZ Strike is a separate add-on game requiring you to match 4 of your Lotto numbers in the exact order they are drawn — making it much harder but with a unique prize structure.
