Golden Kiwi was a New Zealand lottery which began in December 1961[1] and ended in 1989. It was based on philanthropic art union lotteries held for many decades prior.[2] One of the objectives of the Golden Kiwi lottery was to keep funds in New Zealand rather than going to overseas lotteries.[3] In its first year of operation Golden Kiwi raised £1,360,000.[4] Profits from Golden Kiwi were distributed for charitable, philanthropic or cultural purposes for the benefit of the community.[5] Golden Kiwi came under the authority of the New Zealand Lotteries Commission when the Commission was established in 1987.[6] Golden Kiwi sales declined after the introduction of Lotto in 1987,[4] and it ended in 1989 with the introduction of the Instant Kiwi scratch card lottery.
