A lucky lottery player from New Zealand discovered he had won a $44,000,000 lottery prize this week during his cigarette break at work! When the lucky winner had realised his good fortune on the NZ Lotto, he screamed so loud his boss thought he’d been hurt, but it was fortune of quite a different nature that had caused his exclamation.
The unnamed winner from the Hibiscus Coast north of Auckland deserted his break and headed straight off to get his official confirmation and is now celebrating with his partner after winning this record lottery prize. The winner said he called his wife frantically when he realised, so much she also thought there’d been some terrible emergency, when he finally told her the news she refused to believe it, but believe it they can as they are now in the NZ Lotto record books!
The Lotto NZ win was a record one, the biggest jackpot ever on offer in New Zealand and so, of all the jackpots to win this couple have really hit the big time. It comes at a fantastic time for the pair as just the day before they had visited mortgage brokers and been turned down for a mortgage.
Now they intend to give their kids the best Christmas ever, but for now will be both keeping their jobs as they come to terms with this monster win! They will be able to make some immediate changes too of course, and one will be to finally buy a dream home without the need for a mortgage either!
While the young couple was happy to tell the story, they have selected to remain anonymous so they can be allowed to celebrate the big win in peace!
