Lotto NZ is running a must-win Strike draw this weekend to mark the rollout of changes it is making to the game.
Game changes include the introduction of a new Lotto division 7 for matching three Lotto numbers on one line, bigger Powerball prizes across all divisions, the ability to play Strike on its own, and new dip tickets.
On Saturday Lotto will hold a special Powerball and Strike Must Be Won draw.
There is a total prize pool of $9.3 million up for grabs this weekend. The Powerball jackpot is $8 million, the Strike jackpot is $300,000, and both must be won on Saturday.
The Lotto jackpot is $1 million for Saturday's draw.
"Lotto on Wednesday has been really popular with our players, with more people playing our games more often. Now we're making these games even better," said chief executive Wayne Pickup.
