Lotto NZ announces first $1.5 million Strike must be won draw for Saturday

Lotto NZ will hold its first-ever $1.5 million Strike "Must Be Won" draw on Saturday. This follows a change in July that raised the threshold for such draws from $1 million to $1.5 million. The Strike game can be played alone or as an add-on to Lotto and Powerball. If no one wins the top prize, the money will go to the next winning division. 2024 has been a record year for Lotto NZ, with multiple large jackpots. The largest Strike prize previously was $1.76 million, won in 2008.
