In the most recent big win, a Dunedin couple didn’t realise for a week that they were holding a Lotto Powerball ticket worth $5.5 million.
The couple are the second big prize winners from Otago recently after a Port Chalmers resident won the $5.3m draw last Saturday – though they are yet to claim it.
The Dunedin winners – who have chosen not to be named – said they had heard that a local resident had scored the massive prize but presumed it wasn’t them, believing they had bought the winning ticket elsewhere.
