SYDNEY: A New Zealand man who won NZ$19.1mil (RM53.5mil) in the Powerball lottery last month was told to go home after he showed up for work on a major motorway project after the win. "We were fortunate to have one of our people on the project, and whammo, he won the winning ticket," he added. The man shared the NZ$38 jackpot with a Wairarapa family syndicate, reported The Sydney Morning Herald. He checked the ticket when he went to get some groceries from his local supermarket on Monday night. "When she realised I wasn't joking, we had a big hug and a kiss - it was a very special moment."
