The New Zealand Lottery Grants Board can give the Minister some money from lottery profits. You can think of profits as the money left over after all the costs are paid. The Minister gets this money to distribute to people who have applied under section 282(2) of the Gambling Act 2003.

The Minister can then give this money to people who have made a qualifying application under section 282(2). This money is for purposes outlined in section 277. The Minister decides who gets the money based on these rules.
