LOTE TUQIRI’S LOTTOLAND PRANK

Lottoland Australia (Lottoland) and former rugby league player Lote Tuqiri announced a commercial partnership that saw the dual international superstar become a Lottoland ambassador.

As part of the deal, Tuqiri changed his name to ‘Lote Land’.

Mr Land headed to the Queensland Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages on March 30

to make the name change official. It had been initially hoped to reveal Lote Land to the public at Manly’s home ground – Lottoland – next Saturday, 8 April ahead of their match against the Dragons. But they brought the announcement forward a week to April 1.

“When I was approached by Lottoland to change my name I thought it was a gee up, but as we got talking it sounded like a great idea and a natural fit,” he said.

“Everyone used to get my name wrong anyway, and now I’m loving my time as Lote Land. I feel like I’ve won the jackpot!”
