The holder of the winning ticket from Saturday night's mega draw is yet to claim their prize, with Lotto NZ saying they believe they are probably enjoying their holiday not knowing of their overnight life-changing win. The ticket was sold form an outlet in Twizel, with the small South Island town buzzing over who the winner could be. Lotto NZ spokeswoman Marie Winfield is expecting the winner to come forward in the next two weeks. Lotto NZ would make every effort to track the Twizel winner down after two weeks of no-show. Meanwhile, a Hamilton couple have found out they won $1m after carrying a winning ticket around for days after the Christmas draw.
