An Auckland couple who had a bumper start to the year when they won $12.2 million with Lotto Powerball are looking forward to spending their winnings on "mundane stuff" and things that "really matter". The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, are regular Lotto players and bought a ticket for the final draw of 2023 that took place on December 30. "I was too busy doing things around the house, and it wasn't until late that evening that I had time to check my ticket," the woman said. When the woman logged into her MyLotto account, she saw a message saying 'Major Prize Winner' but she didn't realise the extent of her winnings until she checked her ticket. "When I saw all my numbers line up, I realised I'd won $12 million!"
