A Hastings family has won $1 million from a Lotto bonus ticket.
A woman from the family, who wished to remain anonymous, said she was a regular player and played family numbers with a subscription.
But it wasn't the subscription that scored her the win, according to a press release from Lotto.
"In the draw before, we won $24 and a Bonus Ticket," said the woman.
"“And can you believe it – it wasn’t even our own numbers that we won with – it was the Bonus Ticket from Wednesday night."
The family was all very excited about their win and said it would be life-changing, Lotto said.
"You always dream that you will win, but you never actually think you’ll be among those who do.
"We’re hardworking people and we’ve lived a simple life, so this means a great deal for me and my family," she said.
When the woman shared the news with her children, they were equally as excited.
"When I told my children we had won, they all said to me, ‘oh Mum, you really deserve this'."
The family said they have been talking lots about their future.
"This means we will be able to buy our first house, which is our dream. A small home, close to our family, but something that is ours."
She said a family holiday is also on the cards.
"It something we’ve not been able to do, and now we can. We are looking forward to planning a very long-awaited family holiday.
"Being together, making memories, a beautiful celebration. It will be wonderful."
