Lotto host Sonia Gray dishes all the dirt on Jason Reeves' failed audition to be her co-host

Today officially marks the first day that Lotto tickets went on sale in NZ.

So Jase and Bernie decided to give Sonia Gray a buzz about how she landed the gig as New Zealand's Lotto presenter, while also finding out whether or not she's allowed to enter herself in the weekly draw.

But, of course, the conversation wouldn't have been complete if we didn't bring up Jase's failed attempt at being Sonia's co-host ... and she didn't hold back dishing the dirt on why he didn't get the role (although we're not entirely sure she was telling the truth)!

Nevertheless, it was lovely to catch up with the gorgeous Sonia and Bernie will still be crossing her fingers (and toes) weekly that she'll be able to win and no longer have to work with Jase!
