Lucky Lotto winners could be in line for even bigger payouts, with the Powerball jackpot 'Must Be Won' limit increasing to a staggering $50 million.
Other changes include the introduction of a new seventh Lotto division for matching three Lotto numbers on one line, bigger Powerball prizes across all divisions, and the ability to play Strike on its own.
"We're making some changes to Lotto and Powerball that will create more Lotto winners, and give away bigger Powerball prizes," says Lotto NZ's chief executive Wayne Pickup.
"We've listened to what players have asked for - more ways to win and bigger prizes."
In order to make these changes, the price of Lotto will increase by 10 cents per line to 70 cents, and the price of Powerball will increase by 20 cents per line to 80 cents.
"Over 770 Kiwis have become millionaires overnight through playing Lotto, and we're looking forward to continuing that winning streak for our players," says Mr Pickup.
The changes will come into effect from April 2.
