Our job is to raise money for the community. We do this by providing safe and fun games.
NZ Lotteries is a Crown Entity. It was established in 1987 and operates under the Gambling Act 2003.
Our primary goal is to continue to generate improved earnings so that we are able to maximise the contribution we make to numerous New Zealand communities.
At the same time we endeavour to minimise the incidence of any problem gambling and under-age gambling associated with our products.
We achieve this by creating winning outcomes for all our stakeholder our customers, our shareholder the government, our retail network and other business partners, and our staff.
The New Zealand Lotteries Commission (NZ Lotteries) is a New Zealand gaming provider with a pure community benefit funding model.
Because it is government-owned, NZ Lotteries is subject to stringent government reporting and monitoring requirements.
NZ Lotteries is not the organisation which gives the money away, that is done by a separate organisation called the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board.
And NZ Lotteries does not administer the gaming regulations; this is done by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).
