New Zealand lotteries: review 2020.03.30-04.05

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing and feeling well. Just a reminder - many lotteries can be played online - there is no need to leave home. Therefore, we will keep you updated and involved in lotteries during this uncertain period. This time, we will review what was happening in New Zealand last week (30 March-5 April).

One of the main lotteries in New Zealand is split into three parts: Lotto, Strike! and Powerball. All of them were played across two draws which took part on Wednesday (1 April) and Saturday (4 April).

Lotto results were the best amongst these games. In total, the prize pool of nearly 4M was delivered last week. There were 2 people who landed the jackpot of $1 million each - congratulations! Other two games (Strike! and Powerball) did not give away any jackpot prizes. However, there were some exciting moments: for example, 2 players of Powerball received the Division 2 prize on Saturday, winning $24,220 each. During the games of Strike!, 80 players won either $500 or $581 with the strike of 3 correct balls.

Keno is a lottery ongoing on a daily basis with draws taking place 4 times per day (10 AM, 1 PM, 3 PM and 6 PM) - therefore, players are quite proactive due to the frequency and difficulty level - this game is quite straight-forward and somehow similar to the popular game of bingo.

Summing up all Keno results last week, the multiplier of each draw fluctuated from 1.5 to 5. This is similar to all 28 games which took place a week before the last week.

During the daily games of Bullseye lottery last week, the lucky numbers were as follows: 485,454, 699,289, 63,085, 414,204, 951,015, 548,520, 687,854

Overall, the average result of this lucky number giving the jackpot last week was 549,917. There were no winners of the jackpot (the best prize). 1 player won the prize of the Division 2 last week, thus earning $10,000.

Even though the market of popular lotteries in New Zealand is not quite large, the format of most of them allow players to gamble and play without any extra difficulties. Most lotteries are live every day - therefore, it is not difficult to adapt to particular times or any other details. Also, since these games can offer the ways of gambling with little or no risk at all, the participation becomes simple and nice. As mentioned above, these lotteries are now available online - so it is a good chance to try.

Congrats to everyone once again. We are keen to see you here next time! Don’t forget to look after yourself and have a great week!
