Lucky Lotto winners who bought their tickets in Bell Block and Taranaki appear to be in no rush to claim their winnings. When the final ball dropped in Saturday night’s 28th December 2013 special draw the region had scooped seven big prizes. But so far none have fronted up to collect their cash. Westown Lotto sold the top prize of $1 million, Opunake’s Post and Lotto sold a winning second division ticket worth $14,763, while another promotional ticket worth $20,000 was sold at Parklands Super Value, Bell Block. Devon Lotto N Treats, Countdown in Spotswood, New World in Stratford and Loveridge’s Lotto in Hawera each sold winning promotional tickets worth $10,000. Bell Block’s Parkland’s Super Value Supermarket Employee, Mrs Keryn Harris said they had been waiting every day since Sunday morning. “They have been holding us in suspense.” “People have been very busy checking tickets.” Anyone who bought a ticket from any of the above winning stores should write their name on the back and check it immediately.
