Lotto New Zealand’s Christmas promotion is now on. All Triple Dip tickets bought between December 10 and 7.30pm on December 30 will be in the draw to win one of three extra $1 million prizes.

“At Lotto NZ we take responsible gambling seriously, so we’re reminding our customers that if they’re giving any of our products as presents over the Christmas period to only gift them to adults,” the media release said.

Lotto NZ exists to return 100 per cent of its profits to Kiwi communities through lottery grants programmes run by Te Puna Tahua NZ Lottery Grants Board, it said.
