Trevor Cooper, who scooped a $27 million Lotto win, has sold his Karaka mansion for $300,000 more than he paid for it.
The property sold for $2.5 million in September. The former Huntly Countdown worker bought it for $2.2 million in April 2012.
But Mr Cooper's gains may not be as lucrative as they first appear. Previous reports estimated that he and his wife, Sharie, spent $800,000 upgrading the property.
The work included a solar-heated swimming pool with a retractable cover, summer house and sauna.
