It will be a merry christmas for this winner in NZ.
Quote:
With just over two weeks to go, counting the days to Christmas has just become a lot more fun for a Manukau Big Wednesday player after they scooped the $2.9 million top prize in Big Wednesday, says NZ Lotteries' Chief Executive, Todd McLeay.
The winning ticket, which was sold at Pakuranga Lotto in Manukau, is worth $2,990,060 - made up from a prize package including $2 million cash, an Audi R8, a Porsche Cayenne, a $250,000 American Express Platinum card, $250,000 worth of luxury travel and a Four Winns V258 boat.

Lucky bastard indeed! That is a weekly draw called "Big Wednesday" in which all those car/boat prizes are up for grabs. Its the kind of lottery where the major prize is often not struck so the money component jackpots....I personally dont buy tickets, some people describe lotto as an idiot tax. With the odds in play you have more chance of being hit by a bus :roll:

I was pleased to see a FW in the mix this year, during 2008 they were giving away a Rayglass boat which is a NZ made crusier.

Sorry guys, I don't get the kiwi reference. The only kiwi I know is fruit! I'd sell the cars, take that $ and the 250K and put it towards the Lexus LF-A, then trade in the boat for a slightly bigger model :) Nice prize!
