    An Otago woman's described her family's 5.3 million dollar Lotto Powerball win as 'absolutely unreal'

    An Otago woman's described her family's 5.3 million dollar Lotto Powerball win as 'absolutely unreal'


    The woman says she's been spending six-dollars twice a week on Lotto for years - using a mixture of special family birthday numbers and randomly chosen numbers for the ticket.

    She says the family are in disbelief, and it still doesn't feel real.
