Pukekohe couple wins $1 million in Lotto with ticket bought from spare change
A trip to the supermarket ended up being life-changing for a couple whose decision to pick up a Lotto ticket with spare change they found in the car saw them win $1 million.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous, usually picks up his Lotto tickets online at MyLotto – but last week, he and his wife decided to do things a little differently.
“We’d just parked up at the supermarket and my wife was poking around in the middle console looking for something, when I spotted a bunch of change rattling around in there which she kept in the car for parking meters and that kind of thing,” the man, from Pukekohe in rural south Auckland, said.
