A lottery winners first purchase
Great story from Australia - from
news.com.au:
$10m lotto winner's first buy - thermal undies
Forget the jewels, the world trips and the flash cars ... new thermal undies top the wish list of the woman who has won $10 million, Tasmania's biggest ever Oz Lotto jackpot.
"The weather down here is really cold, so I'll buy a new set of thermals before we do anything with the money," she said.
The winning ticket was sold by Wynyard Newsagency, in the state's northeast, and the lucky numbers came up in Tuesday's draw.
The woman and her family, from Wynyard, wish to remain anonymous.
The winner said she was unaware of the win until a friend mentioned that someone had won a record prize with a ticket purchased from the newsagency.
"I then checked our ticket and was stunned to see that I had the winning numbers," she said.
Very cool!
