One million bucks… and it's always someone from Canterbury. Rest of us just out here buying tickets for the dream 😅

Good on them! Hope they enjoy it – pay off the mortgage, take the whānau on holiday, the works. It's nice to see someone win for a change.

Lotto is a tax on people who are bad at math. But hey, congrats to the winner – statistically unlikely, but someone's gotta win. Just not me, lol.

nah, gotta be in it to win it though. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, eh

ffs I bought my ticket at the same store in Gisborne and got nothing. Congrats to the guy who won Strike though… I hate this game 😂

true, but every week I tell myself 'this is the last time'. Then Friday comes round and I'm at the dairy again 😂

14 people got $20k each too, that's pretty sweet. Could pay off some student loans or put a deposit on a house – well, a tiny one.

Jamie Fox2026-06-21T09:05:34.000Z

That's the spirit. Honestly even 20k would change my life right now. Good for them

Every time I see these articles I wonder what I'd do with the money. Probably still work for a bit, then invest. Not that I'll ever find out tho 🙃
