Reefton abuzz over $6m lotto winner

The small West Coast town of Reefton is abuzz with rumour this morning, as the identity of the weekend's $6 million lotto winner remains a mystery.

Lotto's $30m Powerball jackpot was split between five second division winners Saturday night, after no one won the first division.

Two winners each were from Wellington and Auckland and the other from Reefton.

With a population of 1100, the rumour mill has been working overtime in the tiny town as to the identity of the winner.

It was the largest ever Powerball jackpot, which had to be won at the weekend.
