"Dear New Zealand Lotteries Commission,

The information I would like to know is
1).I would like to know what were these games release dates?
2). Is there any way to see total tickets sold or total tickets left as of 25.06.25?
3). Is there a way to see total prize pool remaining as of 25.06.25?"

Your reply was on the 27th June 2025

"Hello Ryan

Thank you for your getting in touch with Lotto.

We have received your OIA request but before we can proceed can you please
give us more clarity on the following:

1). I would like to know what were these games release dates?

Are you referring to all the currently in-store as of today or are there
specific games you would like this information for?

2). Is there any way to see total tickets sold or total tickets left as of
25.06.25?

If you would like total tickets sold, we would need to know what time
period you would like this information for?

3). Is there a way to see total prize pool remaining as of 25.06.25?

For what time period would you like this information?
Once we have this information, we will start the OIA process.

Regards
Desre"

I would like to reply to this below:

1).release dates I am referring to is all currently in store games of today, 06.07.25.

2). The time period I would like to see total tickets sold would be different for each instant kiwi game. Essentially I would require the total tickets sold since inception of each game to our current date of 06.07.25.

3). I also would like to know the total current prize pool of each in store game that is left. The time period would be from the inception of the game to todays date, 06.07.25.

Yours faithfully,

Ryan smith
