I won Lotto!

Was in town today so I checked last weeks ticket...

One Measly bonus line of Strike... Hmph, I hope this weeks draw is a little more generous with the loot!

Who here has a ticket for the 34 Mil draw this week?

I have, but I hope it goes down to the 3rd division and gets shared amongst a few people, rather than just one getting it on their own, unless its me of course [^]

am getting my $4.80 worth of ticket tomorrow
would happily settle for a couple of mil as my share

Me too Stu. Even $34 would be better than anything we have had lately (like for about the last two years!!!!)

Congratulations, Kiwi. I hope the prize money bought you a big fat ticket for tomorrow's draw.

LOL Simkin, no money this prize, just one line of strike as a bonus for getting one number in one right spot If I had 2 numbers in the right spots, then I would have had money, instead of just a single line of strike

Dunno what I would do with $34 million... Buy a helicopter and flying lessons, but what about the other $33.5 mil?

A few mil around to deserving charities and a few mil to various sporting bodies who don't get the limelight but plug on regardless, a dozen or so farms and some managers and staff wages... still got $20 mil then to invest and live off the interest from

i would put a generus amount round all the vets for cat and dog fixing up.

A local millionaire in Invercargill does this thru the SPCA. Its a great scheme and open to all invers residents. But only for cats. If only more folk would take him up on his offer.

I haven't bought one yet as I struggle with the 4 Million to one odds but will see what tomorrow brings in terms of feelings. Tempting though but sick of the no more than two numbers on a line from traditional purchases. Had sworn to give the daft game away. $34 million ? Now I could do something with that outside the square and what a wonderful feeling that would be.

I could set up my new political party! Yeah! Ok ticket needed.

We managed to stop playing our own numbers but still bought a $6 lucky dip each week - at least four of our 'own' numbers came up two weeks ago! BUGGA!

Got a mega one for tonight we very rarely buy one these days and like Ronnie I think it would be nice to have it go to lots of people rather than one or two ...years ago we took them every week with our own numbers ...never got much and Terry turned from 34 to 35 or something so I changed the number on the lotto ticket ...yep Murphy struck the very next week ...we got 4 numbers in but would have been 5 and 2nd division if I had left the numbers well alone[!]
These days we just get the odd lucky dip if there is a special one ...last one was when the Christchurch Earthquake fund was getting some from the sale[^] ..oh and we actually got a line of strike too ...have not bothered to even check it:rolleyes:
hehehe I was just thinking these days the lotto doesn't go out to our age anymore ...we have past it!!!!!
Good Luck everyone:D
Cheers

This should be the week that Lotto give a share of the week's takings to Christchurch

If you were to drive past my house and see a concrete driveway and new post and rail fencing then you would be right if you guessed that I had won! Can I just have enought to do that please?
I do have a ticket.

A statistician's advice on Lotto was "it makes sense to buy a ticket occasionally because buying one ticket increases your odds over having no ticket enormously, but buying more than one, or more lines than you have to, is a waste of money, as this has very little effect on your odds."

No not me; I couldn't stand all the agro if I won anything.
Better to be sure than sorry, so no ticket.
