The three lucky ticket holders who won a share of Saturday’s $55 million Jackpot have come forward to claim their prize.
The tickets were sold at New World Kawerau in Bay of Plenty, Pak N Save Moorhouse in Christchurch and on the MyLotto platform to a player from Auckland.
After last Wednesday’s draw wasn’t struck, the prize passed $50 million, triggering the must be won event.
Each of the three winners will take home $18,388,889.
Lotto said there had been a spike in foot traffic at outlets from people checking if their numbers had come in.
How lucky ticket-holders enjoy their winnings is to be seen— in an array of reactions, previous winners headed to KFC, returned to work and splurged on fish and chips in their celebratory moments.
