It's thought consistency is key as the Government moves to ban all under 18s from buying all Lotto products. 

Currently, only Instant Kiwi products have an age limit. 

Internal Affairs Minister Brooke Van Velden says neither Lotto nor retailers want to sell its products to children, but it's a legally grey area right now. 

She told Tim Beveridge she expects little resistance to the change. 

Van Velden says Lotto estimates just 0.2% of all tickets are bought by kids.
