If you see the results of the New Zealand Lotto Lottery and have the winning numbers, you can visit your nearest retailer (with your ticket) if you bought a paper ticket. Prizes under $1000 will be paid out straight away. For winnings greater than $1000, you’ll complete a Prize Claim Form, and the lottery will pay you.
If you played online, your winnings of $1000 and less will be added to your MyLotto wallet. If you win a prize of greater value, you need to submit the Online Prize Claim Form. The lottery of New Zealand Lotto will pay you out within three working days.
Remember, you have up to 12 months from the draw date to claim your prize.
