Units have historically been issued at NZ$1.00 each. Factors that may cause the unit price to deviate from NZ$1.00 are detailed in the registered prospectus. Your Bonus Bonds are first eligible for the monthly prize draws when you have held them for one complete calendar month following their purchase date (e.g. Bonus Bonds purchased in March will be included in the monthly prize draws from May).
