A Wairoa resident has won a VW campervan valued at more than $80,000 after checking a winning Keno ticket left beside their bed for two weeks.
The player, who wishes to remain anonymous, is a regular Keno player who keeps their tickets in a jar beside the bed.
The winning ticket was sold at Mobil Wairoa for a Keno promotion drawn on November 7.
"After the Keno promotion was drawn I heard that someone in Wairoa had won the Volkswagen campervan and wondered whether it could be me," the eventual winner said.
"I looked up the winning voucher number and had a quick look through my tickets, but couldn't see the winning number so figured I hadn't been the lucky one."
