Big Wednesday Adds Cash Towards Luxury Travel Package to Jackpot

Big Wednesday’s First Division has jackpotted tonight with a $250,000 cash prize towards a luxury travel package added to the prize line up, says NZ Lotteries’ Chief Executive, Todd McLeay.

In the next draw on Wednesday 11th February, Big Wednesday players will be in to win:

-          $2 million;

-          a Porsche Cayenne;

-          an Audi R8;

-          a $250,000 American Express Platinum card and

-          a $250,000 cash prize towards a luxury travel package.

While the top prize was not struck, a lucky player in Blenheim has won $25,000 in Big Wednesday’s Second Chance draw.

The winning ticket was sold at Adventure Sports World in Blenheim and the serial number is 255-63996165-13XX.

Every ticket bought for this Wednesday’s draw was entered in the Second Chance draw.  The prize won was determined by the H or T selection on the first line of the ticket. As the ticket selection did not match the coin toss in the draw, the ticket holder has won $25,000.

“Anyone who bought their Big Wednesday ticket from this store should check it immediately," Mr McLeay says.
