A Tauranga woman who won $333,000 in Lotto says she had butterflies in her stomach while checking her ticket.
The woman, who would not be named, was a regular Lotto player and had been buying her tickets on MyLotto since the lockdown.
"I used to buy my tickets in-store, but
since the lockdown, I've been playing on MyLotto – it's great and suits my busy lifestyle," said the woman.
On Saturday night, the woman was catching up on the latest news in bed when she saw that Lotto had been won and split three ways. She clicked on the article and noticed that one of the winners was a MyLotto player from Tauranga.
"My partner and I usually check our tickets together but I had forgotten to remind him to buy his that day – so we just checked mine instead.
