Hey guys, If I have two numbers plus the bonus ball plus the powerball number, is that a winner?

You need 3 number plus the bonus. The powerball doesn't mean anything , unless you actually win the normal lotto draw too.

They may have an online one. But in that case I think it emails you if you win. I think buying online is the best way to buy them.

It doesn't. I won a couple of weeks ago (on my first ticket in 10 years!) and I had to check the site myself. Pity it was only 6th division... :P

That would be bad. "You have won the NZ Lottery, click here to login" would make any such email go straight to the spam folder.

Really, I thought it did. Maybe itonly does if you log in, or you win a big prize. I had heard from someone who won a winning wheel ticket that they purchased online, that a message popped up on screen to tell then they had won a big prize when they logged in.

That is true. However how many banks still send out emails, with links back to their website...quite a few I have found.

Just checked the lotto website, and they do email you if you win over $1000, as per below

How do I know if I have won a prize?

A notification is sent to your account messages inbox as well as an email to your registered email address if you win a prize $1,001 or over. If you login straight after the draw, you can use the check ticket button which is found on the ticket details screen.

My biggest Lotto win was $600... Missed a first division prize because the last of my numbers was 36 while the number in the draw was 37.

I reckon they should adjust the prizes at the lower end to make them more interesting. 5th & 6th division usually have only a few dollars between them: I think they should drop 6th division to be a free power dip ticket ($12 worth), similar to Strike 4; then use the extra money to pump up the 5th division prize to something that will be more exciting to win than $30.
