Thank you for your request which has been forwarded to me for action.

 

In order to ensure we are providing you with the relevant information, can
you please clarify whether you are seeking information relating to Lotto
NZ or Lotteries Grants Board. You have made reference to both in your
request.

 

It may be helpful for me to explain that Lotto NZ is what people would
recognise as the tickets you buy in order to win Lotto Powerball for
example. Please find below an exert from their website
[1]https://mylotto.co.nz/about-us  

 

Lotto New Zealand exists to provide safe gaming that allows New Zealanders
to play and win, while contributing money back to New Zealand communities.

 

Thanks to Lotto NZ players, every year thousands of organisations and
projects receive essential funding to help make good things happen in our
communities.

 

Under the Gambling Act 2003, all profits from playing Lotto are used to
benefit New Zealand communities. The New Zealand Lotteries Commission runs
the Lottery, and the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board distributes its
profits. https://www.communitymatters.govt.nz/lot...

 

Can you please confirm whether you are seeking information relating to the
revenue of Lotto NZ or Lotteries Grants Board?

 

Ngā mihi
