Big Wednesday has jackpotted, with an American Express Platinum card loaded up with $250,000 added to $2 million and
other prizes on offer next week, NZ Lotteries Chief Executive Trevor Hall said tonight.
"Because Big Wednesday Division One has jackpotted, a common occurrence with games of this type, we will be able to
offer players an even bigger overall prize next week," says Mr Hall.
At the next draw, on 1 March 2006, Big Wednesday players will be in to win:
- $2 million;
- Porsche 911 Carrera;
- Range Rover Vogue V8;
- $50,000 worth of luxury travel every year for five years;
- $250,000 American Express Platinum card

"Just like Powerball, Big Wednesday could go at anytime, and we look forward to turning more of our players into Big
Wednesday winners soon," says Mr Hall.
Just two weeks ago the Big Wednesday draw, resulted in NZ Lotteries giving away its third largest individual prize, with
the winner picking up over $13 million in cash and luxury prizes, as a result of winning Big Wednesday First and Second
Division.
"It has been a very exciting few weeks with our first big winner claiming their prize. While Big Wednesday was not won
again tonight, we can not wait to do it all over again and give away the ultimate lifestyle to a second player," says Mr
Hall.
Although the big prize was not won tonight, there were a total of 53,327 winners from the draw.

tonight's draw. The ticket holder has a won prize of $25,000

"Anyone who bought their ticket from this store should check it immediately," Mr Hall says.
NOTE
Big Wednesday is a jackpotting game. The 1st Division prize jackpots each week the 1st Division is not won. The First
Division prize pool will always start with a minimum of $2 million plus luxury cars. If it is not won, the jackpot will
rollover to the next week and another luxury prize will be added.
A luxury prize will be added to the jackpot each week for the first four weeks if the top prize is not won. After that
the cash component of the top prize will start to increase but no more luxury prizes will be added.
