The Wanganui man who won Lotto watched his numbers tick over live.
"I was watching the live draw on TV and checking the numbers against my ticket - and my numbers just kept coming up."
The man, who doesn't want to be identified, told LottoNZ he had gone back to work after winning draw No 1390 on January 25.
"My workmates keep asking me if I've come down to earth yet, and what I'm even doing back at work."
The new millionaire already has plans to buy a large plot of land and a house.
