One lucky Lotto player has bagged $32,000 overnight with the winning ticket sold in Whanganui.
The ticket, sold at Four Square St Johns, took home Lotto's second division prize alongside five other players, each winning a total of $32,499.
A staff member at the Four Square was unaware of the win when the Chronicle visited.
"We had no idea, but that's awesome," the staff member said.
"It's a pretty awesome thing to have happen at this time of year."
