You could also call this:

"A group that helps decide how lottery money is spent to benefit New Zealand."

The New Zealand Lottery Grants Board was set up by section 116A of the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1977 and it still exists. You can find out more about when it was set up by looking at [section 116A of the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1977](section 116A of the Gaming and Lotteries Act 1977). The Board has several members, including the Minister, the Prime Minister, and the Leader of the Opposition.

The Board also has three other members who are chosen by the Governor-General because they have the right knowledge, skills, and experience to help the Board make decisions.

The Minister is in charge of the Board, and the other members work together to make decisions about how the Board will work.
