Timaru man Lotto $1 million win, Digi Mart USA News (Timaru, New Zealand): A quiet Sunday turned into an unforgettable day for a Timaru man who woke from a “nana nap” to find he had won $1 million in Lotto.
The man said he is a regular player who uses his own numbers, a mix of birthdays and special occasions. He always records the Lotto draw and watched it after his regular “nana nap” last Sunday, as he always does.
“I know my numbers off by heart, I’ve played the same ones for years,” he said. “So once three numbers came out of the machine, I thought, ‘I’ve won a bonus ticket at least.’ Then the fourth one came out and I thought, ‘what?!’ Then came the fifth number and I thought, ‘nah, I can’t watch this anymore.’ And when the sixth number came out, well, I’m surprised they couldn’t hear me all the way up in Auckland!”
He said he celebrated with a beer, then shared the news with a family member. “She thought I was having her on,” he said.
“So I sent her a picture of the ticket.”
Still not convinced, she looked online, saw that someone in Timaru had won, and checked his numbers to make sure. “She was really chuffed for me when she realised I was the winner and it wasn’t a big joke.”
The man claimed his win in-store and said he finally felt more relaxed after handing over his ticket to be checked. “I was shaking for about 40 hours straight after finding out, and it’s only just stopped,” he said.
He said he is looking forward to the future and plans to buy a campervan so he can travel the South Island. “I’ve already been online looking for one.
I can’t wait to hit the road and get away for the weekend whenever I feel like it. There’s a few special places I’d like to visit,” he said.
Apart from the campervan, the winner plans to take things slow and get good advice on how best to handle his windfall.
