There’s a huge buzz in Wairoa after a ticket sold there won $10 million in Saturday night’s Lotto draw. Chris says it has all the ingredients for a huge celebration, Wairoa is a small town particularly hard hit by Cyclone Gabrielle.
Mayor Craig Little's advice is for the winner not to tell a soul. He says they've had a lot of tourists through recently and his hope is that the winner is actually someone from the town.
Chris also looks at why Hawke’s Bay building fires are on the rise, and he says a decision on what to do with $400,000 of debt owed to the Regional Council is bubbling away.
