A little while ago, a guy here - late 20's early 30's & single won 26.3 million on lotto! was a checkout operator at a small town supermarket.

His mom drove him down to Wellington (about a 700km trip) to claim the money & on the way home her car's engine blew up so he bought her a new one (not sure if it was new or used).

It's now come to light in the papers he's just bought a new Holden ute top of the range Maloo http: HSV E3 Maloo R8; E Series 3; Holden Special Vehicles Also he's considering importing a Dodge Viper - USED! One doesn't buy these things new his dad says????

Anyway, the point of this post is to say that prior to the big win his ride was . . . .a Chevy Blazer! Most Blazer owners here who joined the forum have contacted me - some without giving their name - Wonder if he was one of them?

Also, I'm wondering if he still has it? Newspaper doesn't say.

 

hmm. interesting, i know if i ever won something like that id have my own personal car collection. and then take my blazer somewhere and make it the toughest blazer in the world baby!

 

If I had the $ this guy won, I would buy 7 Jimmy's all in different colors. That way, I would have one for every day of the week!

 

I just thought the odds of a Blazer owner (in New Zealand), winning the lotto would be the same as winning the lotto! LOL

 

Cool that the blazer was in the picture. I hope he doesnt blow all that money on tons of cars,houses,trips etc...you'd be surprised how fast it can go then you are stuck in a ton of debt..

I remember a story of a teen year old girl overseas that won a large amount of money,and blew it all in a matter of a few years and was in debt for life..

Gotta use the brain guys. I DO know when i win the 100m lottery im flying all of yall down here for a big party,and everyone gets what they want done to they're blazer. lol

 

ya better come this way chris !~~ =P
