Well, so who's got their tickets for tonight's draw???

Ain't it exciting? - you could win all that stuff?

The good news is that your odds are 1 in 16,290,120!!!

That's a 0.0000061% chance of winning. It also equates to a 99.9999939% chance of you throwing your money away!!!

It means that for every 4 times you take the first division in lotto, you'll win BW.

So if you play 4 lines a night, every week - your probablity of winning the prize is once every 78317 years!

:angry2: What a scam. :angry2:

This means I have doubled my money already!!!

Folded it in half and put it back in the wallet.
Lotto is simply a tax on people who are bad at maths.:thud:

“Big Wednesday” should be called "Big Disappointment". Those TV adds are really starting to piss me off.

Great marketing though - They target the ethnic groups who can least afford it.
Any dollars a good dollar I guess.

I did all right in the draw last night - kept me money in me wallet so I am better off than most people today!

Did you hear about the person last week who had ALL the numbers but had the wrong coin toss? Wouldn't you be gutted?

And have they explained what would happen if more than one person had the winning ticket - do they divide up the prizes or what?
