WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- A "nagging" wife who pushed her husband to buy a lottery ticket helped scoop the $4.2 million ($7.7 million New Zealand dollar) first prize - with only minutes to spare. The man from New Zealand's biggest city, Auckland, bought his ticket just two minutes before ticket sales closed Saturday night.

"When she realized how much it really was, she fell to the floor, and then said: 'but all I wanted was a sausage.'"
