One lucky punter who secured $1m in Wednesday's live Lotto draw bought their ticket from the same store as a $28m winner last month.
Both tickets were purchased at Meg Star in Auckland's Henderson within three weeks of each other.
The $28m winner from March 26 was an Auckland grandma who said her winnings will "make such a difference to our family".
"I saw the store owners speaking on the news on Sunday night and I thought 'huh, that's where I bought my ticket'," the woman said.
"I was really happy for the owners, they seemed thrilled. I imagined a little about what I would do if I was the lucky winner – but that was it, I didn't seriously think it was me."
