New Zealand Lotteries Commission (NZLC) is New
Zealand's only gaming provider with a pure community-benefit funding model.
Lotto, its flagship game, has become a national icon. Lotto was introduced
as a result of the 1985 report Sport on the Move, which saw the new game as a
source of extra revenue for recreation, arts, sport and community projects. The
Labour government of the day agreed that the income from the existing Golden
Kiwi had peaked. And so NZLC was established in 1987, with Lotto's first draw
being held on 1 August that year. Alongside Lotto, NZLC's other current
products are Lotto Powerball, Lotto Strike, Keno and Instant Kiwi. NZLC's
retail network of more than 640 "Lotto Shops" employs more than 3,600
people, the largest single retail network in New Zealand.
