An Otago couple who cracked open a bottle of wine to celebrate winning $1000 were shocked to hear they had become millionaires after misplacing a decimal point.
The couple won the Lotto first division prize of $1,000,000 drawn on March 9.
One of the couple, who chose to remain anonymous,
said they had family over when they checked their ticket and misread the number, believing it to be a $1000 prize.
"Everyone was thrilled, and we promptly celebrated with a bottle of wine."
