The last huge win came in the final draw of 2023, which was claimed by an Auckland couple who won $12.2m. The woman said the couple had spent the new year "processing this major change to our lives". "It wasn't until we got the call from Lotto NZ that the reality started to sink in," the woman said. The top of the couple's wish list includes "sensible, mundane stuff, like a house and investing for the future". We can't wait to support our family and spend time on the things that really matter," the woman said.
