An Auckland man has his horoscope to thank for a life-changing $500,000 Lotto prize.
The Virgo, who wanted to remain anonymous, received a call from his wife last week telling him to pick up a Lotto ticket.
"My wife phoned me out of the blue and said 'I've been reading your horoscope and it says you're going to come into money - you should buy a Lotto ticket today," he said.
"Luckily I did as I was told."
The winner picked up a ticket at Ormiston Pak N Save and didn't think much of it again until he was leaving his local supermarket a few days later. He saw a sign advertising that they'd just sold another Lotto First Division winning ticket.
