$1M Lottery Winner’s First Purchase: A Hammock

by Seth Haber | Founder, CEO on December 20, 2011

Just came across this great story and had to share.  A New Zealand woman just won $1 million in her local lotto – and before she even had a chance to collect any money she went out and bought herself a new hammock.  Even more awesome, she already owned two hammocks so this was her third!

“Also when I found out that I had the winning ticket, because the smallest amount you can win is $100,000, I went and bought a hammock. I already have two but I bought a hammock stand because I have always wanted one.”
- Lottery Winner Vicky
