Kia ora
Thank you for your request which has been forwarded to me for action.
In order to ensure we are providing you with the relevant information, can
you please clarify whether you are seeking information relating to Lotto
NZ or Lotteries Grants Board. You have made reference to both in your
request.
It may be helpful for me to explain that Lotto NZ is what people would
recognise as the tickets you buy in order to win Lotto Powerball for
example. Please find below an exert from their website
[1]https://mylotto.co.nz/about-us
Lotto New Zealand exists to provide safe gaming that allows New Zealanders
to play and win, while contributing money back to New Zealand communities.
Thanks to Lotto NZ players, every year thousands of organisations and
projects receive essential funding to help make good things happen in our
communities.
Under the Gambling Act 2003, all profits from playing Lotto are used to
benefit New Zealand communities. The New Zealand Lotteries Commission runs
the Lottery, and the New Zealand Lottery Grants Board distributes its
profits. https://www.communitymatters.govt.nz/lot...
Can you please confirm whether you are seeking information relating to the
revenue of Lotto NZ or Lotteries Grants Board?

Dear SDO Official Correspondence (Julia Taylor & Alysha Stevenson),
Since Lotto NZ information is not available by DIA, though Lotto NZ is a crown entity, I'll seek that information from other sectors.
Presently, as you informed that LGB (Lottery Grants Board) revenue info is available with you (without GST), so I'm happy to accept that information. Please release it soon for each year, as mentioned in the initial correspondence. Thanks in advance for your prompt cooperation.
Yours sincerely,
S Rasool
