1434481 2017-04-23 04:31:00 I received a free prize "Lotto Dip Bonus" of 4 lines (= $2.80) for 3 matching numbers. This was from a $16 Triple Dip. Seems this 7th division was introduced April. Note - the 7th division is not present in the NZ City web site. (home.nzcity.co.nz) But present in the more comprehensive NZ LottoResults.co.nz site. (lottoresults.co.nz)

Funny - first time for months I took my ticket in, without checking it. Otherwise may have discarded it, knowing only 3 numbers matched. Though if I check online official site...

So pays to actually visit a shop to scan Lotto tickets, rather than checking certain web sites, or relying on past knowledge of prize divisions...

1434482 2017-04-23 05:22:00 ah yes, the national con game.
They offer "more prizes!!"
They charge more.
They give you a free ticket - oh yay, more gambling!

The justification is all those community groups who would be poverty stricken.
Actually people might have more to donate directly if they weren't wasting it on these tickets.

1434483 2017-04-23 06:13:00 You pay over 19% more for Lotto

Powerball ticket is over 33% more,that where your $2.80 comes from

Wonder if Michael Cullen is on the Board,he has done wonders for NZ Post

1434484 2017-04-23 22:51:00 Isn't it funny how the media kept so quiet about this recent price increase "rip-off" :( Zippity (58)
1434485 2017-04-23 23:53:00 Pays for their new results layout no doubt.

They hadn't been put in The Press for quite some time and have only recently appeared in this new format.

1434488 2017-04-24 09:22:00 I am very annoyed with Lotto and their 6 and 7th divisions.
We are only 4 million people not 300 million like the USA and Europe.

I would like to see the pathetic div 6 and 7 prizes go and that money divided up into divisions 2, 3 and 4.

That way many people could get say 40 or 50,000 which would be life changing for most people. (do the maths)
$20 or $12 is just pathetic, and they hope that you re-gamble it.

I only buy lotto as part of a syndicate, as I think that $12 for the chance of winning powerball is a waste of my money. I buy Bonus Bonds instead.
If there were more chances of winning $50,000 then I would buy Powerball each week.

1434489 2017-04-25 06:48:00 Had three of those Bonus Line tickets @ $3.80 each, 5 lines on one and two lines on the others, can't follow the logic on this.

Digby said "I buy Bonus Bonds instead."

That's been said on here in the past, we had a lot of luck with three wins of $5,000, but now with only $20,000 invested the returns are pretty scarce toooo. Might have something to do with the latest numbering of units having a better chance.
