We examine the moments of the number of lattice points in a fixed ball of volume V for lattices in Euclidean space which are modules over the ring of integers of a number field K. In particular, denoting by ωK the number of roots of unity in K, we show that for lattices of large enough dimension the moments of the number of ωK-tuples of lattice points converge to those of a Poisson distribution of mean V/ωK. This extends work of Rogers for ℤ-lattices. What is more, we show that this convergence can also be achieved by increasing the degree of the number field K as long as K varies within a set of number fields with uniform lower bounds on the absolute Weil height of non-torsion elements.
