Lotto NZ questions I get asked most

When is the next NZ Lotto draw?

Draws run twice a week — Wednesdays around 8:20pm and Saturdays around 8:00pm NZ time, live on TVNZ. Ticket sales close at 7:25pm on draw night (7:30pm online), and the winning numbers are published shortly after the live draw.

Where do I check the latest NZ Lotto results?

Right here — the NZ Lotto results page shows the latest winning numbers, bonus ball and Powerball, plus the last 10 draws. You can also scan your ticket in the MyLotto app or take it to any retailer; online entries are checked automatically.

What are the odds of winning NZ Lotto Division 1?

About 1 in 3,838,380 per line for the six main numbers. Add Powerball and the Division 1 odds are 1 in 53.7 million since the September 2026 rule change. The full division ladder is in Lotto divisions NZ explained.

Is Lotto tax free in New Zealand?

Yes — Lotto NZ prizes are paid as a tax-free lump sum, whether you win Division 7 or the Powerball jackpot. It is one of the few countries where that is true, and it is why so many Kiwi winners talk about the money landing in full. The detail, including what happens with interest and the Inland Revenue side of it, is in is Lotto tax free in NZ.

What time do Lotto tickets stop selling?

Sales close at 7:25pm at retailers and 7:30pm on MyLotto on draw night, with the draw following at around 8pm. The full weekly schedule, including what happens on the weekend the clocks change, is on Lotto draw times and cut-off.

Do you predict the winning numbers?

No — and I'd be suspicious of anyone who says they do. Every draw is a separate, independent event, so hot and cold streaks are descriptions of the past, not promises about Saturday. I use real draw history to make the numbers interesting, not to pretend the maths can be beaten.
