The $ 10 million Lotto Powerball winner’s plan to buy a Lamborghini

A Christchurch man who made a $ 10.5 million win on Lotto Powerball plans to buy a Lamborghini.

The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, won the jackpot in Wednesday’s drawing.

He said he was overwhelmed with his “incredible” victory, but adamant about what was at the top of his shopping list.

“I’m going to buy my dream car, a Lamborghini,” he laughed.

“I’ve always wanted one so why not now?”

The man is a regular gambler and was shopping for groceries on Monday when he decided to pick up a ticket for Wednesday’s drawing.

“I usually buy a Power Dip, but I saw that the Father’s Day promotion was that weekend, so I decided to get a Triple Dip instead, you have to be in to win.

“I always buy a Dip and choose my own Powerball number – Powerball 9, it is a special number for me and it is also my birthday.”

On Thursday, a co-worker mentioned that the man should check his ticket because Powerball was won with a ticket sold at Bishopdale New World.

“I said to myself: ‘It can’t be me, it’s not possible, there are so many people who buy their tickets there.’

The next morning, the man returned to the store to check his ticket.

“I used the ticket checker first and ‘Division 1 Winner’ came up. I just said, ‘OMG, is this for real?’ “

The winner handed his ticket to the Lottery operator, who passed it through the machine and confirmed his victory.

“Lotto’s wife was so excited for me; it was such a surreal moment, I still can’t believe it.”

The man planned to celebrate his big victory with a “kitchen” at home with his family and a new Lamborghini.

He also plans to take a trip somewhere on the South Island where he can relax and start planning his new future.
