I'd like to organize one with my mates ideally but have not a clue. From what I can see you can buy a share with random people.

yup...someone's doing cartwheels at the moment. Unless they're pensioners, in which case they'd already be in bed and tomorrow will be a good day

I think I got a div 4 or 5, havent worked it out as yet the site is jammed

Nice work, I only got one number and bought a System 9 Autopick.

It was the first time I've entered lotto as I'm not a gambling person but with that amount of money on offer it's better to have f all chance than no chance at all.

the bloke in SA was from west beach. If I won what he won, I'd order some replacement kidneys for future use, as I'd become permanently ****ed with the winnings.

45*44*43*42*41*40*39= 228,713,284,800 Thats how many combinations there are in choosing 7 numbers from 45!

So to be sure of winning you would need all these tickets. How much would that cost for over 228 billion tickets?

Haha, imagine putting in your 228 billion tickets and thinking that should be right, but the combination was in the 500million you couldnt be bothered completely finishing off with!!

How many tickets do they sell anyway? They do pretty well to get a winner every few gos at those odds!

I would like to win something over $100 just once. I was thinking of saving a few $'s each week and putting on a system 10-12 on a super draw night. I may increase my chances that way but would proberley do my dough anyway.
