The government is under pressure to stop Lotto selling gambling products to children.
There is no age restriction on buying Lotto tickets and one study of Pasifika children in New Zealand found seven percent of nine year-olds had bought one.
Lotto chief executive Chris Lyman, says they would be happy to introduce age restrictions, but its legal advice shows it can't do that without a law change.
Guyon Espiner reports.
