Their minds "still spinning", the Oamaru family who won $18.25 million in Lotto on Boxing Day are planning to make a difference with their winnings.
The family have expressed a wish to remain anonymous and said in a statement on Tuesday they still had a lot to think about, but planned to help people in need.
"Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of people who really need it - and a win like this allows us to do that.
"We also want to help our children and wider family, and at some stage will probably treat ourselves to a new car."
They realised they had won the big prize on Boxing Day, after hearing the ticket was bought at New World Waitaki - where they always bought theirs.
