The cat is out of the bag: The four winning Lotto First Division prizes sold at Patea Four Square last week were won by one person. Lotto players have been speculating all week whether the store had defied the odds by selling four First Division-winning lotto tickets to separate winners. The woman who won fell asleep in front of the TV before waking up around 10pm on Saturday, missing the Lotto draw. Before heading to bed, the woman checked her Lotto ticket and said it took a while before she realised she'd matched all six numbers on four lines of her ticket. Keeping the winning ticket under her pillow, the woman and her husband lay awake thinking about their win.
