UK $11m lotto winner plans holiday in NZ

A British supermarket checkout operator knows what she wants to do with her £5,62 million ($11.65m) Lotto jackpot - come to New Zealand for a holiday,then go back to work.

Mother of two Sue Stebbings, 43, of Lowestoft in Suffolk, and her husband Richard, 46, won the money earlier this month on the British Lotto.

Mrs Stebbings told the East Anglia Daily Times: "Richard used to be a chief petty officer in the navy so has travelled all over, but neither of us has been to Australia or New Zealand so we'll definitely be planning a long haul holiday in the near future".

The couple plan to spend Christmas in style with their two children, aged 20 and 17, and buy a boat and two cars.

But Mrs Stebbings doesn't plan on quitting work: "I would like to go back to work. I think I'd be bored at home".
