Unnecessary delay
PA Wellington The three Divison 1 winners from Saturday’s Lotto draw may have needlessly waited an extra day to collect winnings because of a mix-up over Wellington’s anniversary day. During Saturday evening’s televised draw.
winners were told they would not be able to collect Division 1 winnings until Tuesday because Lotto’s offices in Wellington were closed for the provincial holiday. However, a Lotteries Commission spokesman said yesterday that staff were at work to write
cheques for winners. Lotto staff waited throughout the day to hear from at least one or two of the winners, apparently unaware of the confusion.
The Division 1 prize pool of $784,888.36 was split between three North Island ticket holders.
