Jan, who has three grown up children, two of which were able to join her at the live draw, works as a caregiver.
She had never been to Wellington prior to winning this prize, so was very much enjoying her time in the capital.
As part of the Winning Wheel prize package, Jan enjoyed a luxury stay at the Duxton Hotel in Wellington, a shopping trip with a stylist for an outfit to wear on the show, and lunch with Lotto presenter Russell Harrison.
All Lotto players are automatically in the draw to win the opportunity to spin Lotto’s Winning Wheel, regardless of the type of ticket they buy. Players can check their ticket at any lottery outlet.
Tonight’s Winning Wheel ticket was sold at Onerahi Bookshop and Lotto in Whangarei. The serial number is 627-36120838-20xx.
“Anyone who bought their ticket from any of the above winning stores should write their name on the back of the ticket and check it immediately at any NZ Lotteries outlet," Mr McLeay says.
