A Tauranga retiree is planning a special trip for her husband after a $1 million Bonus Bonds windfall.
The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, found out she was the winner of the grand prize for March on her wedding anniversary.
When she got the call, she thought it was for her husband and passed him the phone.
"I thought, 'oh this can't be for me'. When my husband handed me back the phone my jaw dropped – I had won a million dollars," she said.
"How tall would a pile of money of that amount be?" she asked him.
