One lucky punter from Greymouth won $8.4m worth of prizes in last night's Lotto draw.
The prize pack consists of a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, an Audi Q7, a Rayglass 2200 boat, $50,000 cash towards luxury travel, a $50,000 Platinum VISA card, $675,000 cash towards a bach, as well as $7m cash, NZ Lotteries chief executive Todd McLeay said.
The winning ticket was sold at Greymouth New World.
The Big Wednesday prize has been struck four times in 2011: in July two players from Canterbury won $4.6m each in cash and prizes, in March a player in Wellington won $6.7m, and in January a player in Te Kuiti won $5.2m.
It also comes just over a year since a $10.6m prize was won in the small West Coast town of Reefton.
