One lucky Southland man has found himself $1 million richer after finding out he bought a winning ticket in last week's Lotto First Division. While he wished to remain anonymous, the man bought the ticket last week from the Tuatapere Four Square. Being a regular Lotto player he had kept a Lotto ticket in his wallet for three months before checking it on Friday, and after finding that had won him $30 he decided to purchase a Triple Dip ticket for the Saturday draw. When his movie finished, he checked his ticket on the Lotto NZ App and was in "shock" when the words ‘a major prize’ popped up. I was just lying in bed thinking about the 10,000 things my wife and I could do with the money.
