Have you check your Oz Lotto ticket?

This is how I expect to find out about my big win when it comes.

But not me this time

Yeah, lucky sod!!!!. Probably just bought a quick pick at a newsagents and never had a lotto card. I only won a div 7 (about $12.80), but that's better than nothing. I have won a div 3 before...$1500, which was great.

One day, I'll win it

Can't win if you're not in!!!

Well it wasn't me.

Bums

On the other hand congrats to that lucky beggar who is going to have an awesome Christmas.

Just think, the poor beggar is going to have to open another bank a/c, because his/her present one won't be able to handle $40 big ones. Savings a/c's aren't designed to handle that sort of money

I would have thought a bank account is a bank account and it would handle any amount of money.

My account only pays 0.5% pa interest but that's ok, that would work out to be $200,000 a year to live on before tax.

Cheers

Apparently, they don't like having to handle large sums of money in savings a/c's. Probably has more to do with the fact they earn more money in interest annd bank charges holding the money in a specialised a/c, rather than having it in a normal a/c.

Not bad going when you work it out

$40 millions Imagine that!... Maybe he's lost the ticket and he's looking frantically through his laundry bag?

Should see how much money is in the EuroMillions lotto. Div 1 prize for the Xmas draw is around 900million Euro. Overseas players go into syndicates of 8 shares. When my brother bought his tickets in June, he was lucky to have enough money to purchase 3 shares of the 8.

If his syndicate is lucky enough to win Div 1, he'll get 337.5million Euro or $548.33 million in oz dollars

According to the lotto, any one player has a 1/33000 chance of winning Div 1. A syndicate in Spain at the same time last Xmas draw won 1.3billion Euro. It was split between 45 people of one town, all of them related.
