New Zealand Naturist Federation President Alice de Wet weighs in on the naked Lotto advertisement.
A Manawatū supermarket is waiting for New Zealand’s newest millionaire to claim their prize.
While last night’s $5 million Lotto Powerball jackpot was not struck, one lucky punter has netted a $1m First Division prize.
The winning ticket was sold at Four Square Milson in Palmerston North.
A worker atFour Square Milson told the Herald that while they hadn’t yet heard from the winner, Lotto has been contacted and they are now waiting for the First Division prize to be claimed in-store.
It isn’t just the million-dollar win being celebrated today.
Two Strike players also won $350,000 each last night, with one of the winning tickets sold at Pak’nSave Whakatāne in Whakatāne and the other through the MyLotto app to a player from Christchurch.
Since it wasn’t struck, Powerball has rolled over to Wednesday, with a $6 million jackpot up for grabs that night.
Saturday night’s numbers were 18, 17, 32, 27, 6 and 40. The bonus ball is 39 and Powerball 9.
“It felt we were in a dream – like maybe we had actually fallen asleep and none of it was real. We just kept saying to each other ... ‘Are we going to wake up now?’”
The couple said they struggled to sleep that night after the big news.
The man said he usually slept well but after finding out they had won, he “couldn’t sleep at all that night, or the night after”.
Now that the win has been claimed, the couple said they would be taking some time to think about what the money meant for them and their family.
“Of course, we want to help our families, but we don’t know what that looks like yet.
