An Invercargill couple who won a $5 million share of last weekend's massive Powerball prize kept the ticket in their car's glovebox, oblivious to how much it was worth.
The retired pair only realised they were part-winners of the $50m jackpot when they checked the ticket at a local grocery store and burst into tears when they found out.
A Lotto spokesperson says they then had a celebratory beer before lunchtime and a champagne dinner with their family that night.
They want to renovate their house and plan for their future with their winnings.
