A winning Lotto ticket worth more than $13 million proved to be the perfect cure for its owner's migraine.
The Hastings couple, who did not want to be identified, were regular Lotto players and realised on Sunday they were holding a winner.
"I play my own numbers every week, so
as soon as I saw the results I knew we'd won something good - I just didn't know what," the husband said.
"When I realised we'd won First Division I crossed my fingers, hoping I'd picked the right Powerball too - lucky for us, I had.
"My wife wasn't feeling well, so was in bed at the time. It turns out that me bursting through the door screaming, 'We've won $13 million' was an instant cure," he said.
