The six winning tickets were sold in Whangaparoa, Auckland, Morrinsville, Nelson, Christchurch and Alexandra.
The winners are all thrilled with their wins and are making plans for the winter ahead.
Our Whangaparoa winner is due to move house soon so they plan to use some of their ‘escape’ money to ease their move and will head to the ski slopes with the change.
The Auckland winners have been saving for a trip to Europe so they’ve decided to use their ‘Winter Escape’ money to escape winter in the Southern Hemisphere and head to the sun!
The Morrinsville winners have recently returned from an overseas trip so are planning to return to work and will take their kids to Queenstown later in the season.
Our Christchurch winners lost their jobs in the CBD following the closure of some city buildings after February’s earthquake so their $5,000 prize will be used to cushion their finances until new employment can be found.
The Nelson and Alexandra winners are still undecided about whether they’ll use the money to ‘surf’ in the islands or ski in Queenstown this winter but both have relished the excitement of winning their prizes.
There are 25 $5,000 Winter Escape packages still to be won so get down to your local Lotto store and snap up a $5 Winter Escape ticket today!
