“This week’s First Division prize is worth $4,240,060 – made up from a prize package including $2.5 million cash, an Audi R8, a Porsche Cayenne, an American Express card loaded with $250,000, $250,000 cash towards luxury travel, a Four Winns V258 boat and $750,000 cash towards a bach” says Mr McLeay.
The winning ticket was sold at Clendon New World in Manukau.
“What a fantastic way to kick start February – I’m sure the winner’s celebrations will be even bigger than their New Year’s ones,” says Mr McLeay
The win comes after a player from Mt Albert in Auckland won $2.6 million in December’s pre-Christmas Big Wednesday draw.
Another lucky player from Oamaru has won $75,000 in Big Wednesday’s Second Chance draw. The winning ticket was sold at Oamaru New World in Oamaru, and the serial number is 619-24768782-13XX.
Every ticket bought for the Big Wednesday draw was entered in the Second Chance draw. The prize won was determined by the H or T selection on the first line of the ticket. As the ticket selection matched the coin toss in the draw, the ticket holder has won $75,000.
“Anyone who bought a ticket at our winning retailers should check them immediately and write their name on the back of the ticket. If they are our big winner, please contact us at NZ Lotteries and we can advise them on the next steps to take," says Mr McLeay.
There were a total of 51,461 winners in this week’s draw.
