Title: New Zealand man trashes $22.5 million lottery ticket
Post by: eye30 on September 18, 2012, 20:19:17

Anyone on this site owning up!!!


A New Zealand man threw away a winning lottery ticket worth NZ$27 million ($22.5 million) after reading the wrong results and thinking it was useless.

It was not until the following day, when he heard the lucrative prize had not been claimed, that he searched for the ticket and found he had won.

The NZ$27 million prize consists of NZ$25,592,110 in cash, a Lamborghini Gallardo, an Audi Q7, a speedboat, a credit card topped up to NZ$50,000, as well as NZ$50,000 worth of travel and NZ$675,000 cash towards a holiday home.
