A Hamilton man was "stunned" to discover a million dollar lotto ticket in his pocket, five weeks after buying it.
"When the guy behind the Lotto counter told me I was a millionaire, I was like a stunned mullet - I didn't know where I was, or what was happening."
The winner, who wished to remain anonymous, said he has "been in disbelief for the last few days - winning Lotto doesn't happen to me, it happens to someone else, or so I thought."
He said if his wife had not prompted him to go to the Lotto store, he might not have checked the ticket at all.
"My wife's ticket had won a free line of Strike but I had no idea I had won $1 million when I gave the ticket over to be checked,'" he said.
