How potential Lotto changes could affect your chances of winning
Description
Your chance of winning Powerball is 1 in 38 million – and it could be about to get a lot harder.
The Herald has revealed Lotto NZ bosses are keen to increase the number of balls in the Powerball draw - and are already seeking permission from the Government for what has been described as a “matrix” change for the game.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior reporter Neil Reid is here to crunch the numbers and tell us more about these potential changes on the way.
