You can go pretty much anywhere you want to when you have millions at your disposal, and one couple from New Zealand has a pretty specific destination in mind. They’ll celebrate a $5.000.000 lotto victory with a dream holiday to Italy. Follow in their footsteps and travel the world after the next Powerball Boost draw – a dazzling $750.000.000 windfall awaits!
Fortunate couple scored this amazing prize by playing mixture of numbers that are important to their family. It consists of family birthdays and former addresses – the husband picked them two years ago and has been playing them ever since. The winning numbers popped up on the screen while he was watching MasterChef, and he was certain he matched at least five of them. The husband felt “like a cat on hot tin roof” while he waited for the result to be published online. It was the longest 45 minutes of his life, but he couldn’t wait to share the news with the rest of his family once his victory became official.
“We called our kids straight away and told them to come over. They both immediately thought something was wrong. We kept reassuring them that it was good news, but they didn’t believe us until they saw the ticket. We have also told close friends and they are incredibly happy for us,” said the husband.
The fortunate couple’s always wanted to go on a trip to Italy together, and their dream will finally come true. The husband is also thinking about upgrading his car, and he’s got his eye on a new Tesla. The rest of the money will go towards securing the future of their loved ones.
“The most important thing for us is being able to help out friends and family – once that’s taken care of, the world is our oyster. It’s about sharing the love,” explained the winner.
