Lotto Winner Leaves NZ$4.7 Million Ticket In His Car Overnight!
Saturday 14th June 2008
A Christchurch Lotto winner decided to stop at his local shop and purchase a line on the Lotto as a one off. He wrote the numbers on a piece of paper but left the Lotto ticket in his car! The man, who wants to remain anonymous, then checked his number only to see that he had actually hit the NZ$4.7 jackpot, but where was the ticket?
After much searching the winner managed to locate his ticket and recently banked his prize which included NZ$2.5 million in cash, an Aston Martin, an Audi Q7, an apartment and a holiday home to name but a few. This win has literally changed this man, and his family’s, lives over night and they now have substantial funds in the bank, a new home, cars and a holiday home!
While the chances of winning the Lotto are very slim, we can all but dream of pulling that big ticket out of our pockets and striking off all of our numbers. The Lotto is one of the most popular forms of gambling around the world and with a power which can turn your life on its head, even in current economic conditions there is no reason to think this will change.
