My son just got back from buying a ticket...took him an hour and a half to get it. People were spending obscene amounts of money on tickets..Only takes 6 numbers on one ticket though!!

Suppose you gotta be in it to win it!!

I think the diffrence between 1 game and 40 games wouldn't be that great in the odds of this lotto! A drop in the ocean

Well, the way I see it, the person with 40 games has 40x more chances of winning over the person who has 1 game.

I bought 48 games. Waited bout 10 min. Hope I get a little something back or I'll have 2 expensive pieces of toilet paper...

Good luck all in it.

Odds based on 18 games - All 7 winning numbers 2,521,090:1

So the odds for a single game of 7 numbers would be a tad over 45,000,000 to 1

Start a "real" race series that requires road cars and is televised. Set it up to ensure that it is full of falcons and commodores not GTRs and GT3s.

Start a driving school franchise that actually teaches kids to drive not just pass a driving test.

Start a local club race series like in Finland were any of the cars can be sold at the end of the day for $5k to allow anyone to be able to afford to compete.

Run a national Holden vs Ford drag series that requires the cars to be less than 3 years old and pass all ADRs including emissions before each event and televise like a "state of origin".

Or whatever else but do something that helps motoring enthusiasts and is good for Australia......

P.S. I was going to write buy every house that borders on Scruby's (and all the other car haters) and turn them into a methadone clinic residences but that would probably be seen as not in the spirit......
I'm with you there. My first idea task would be to build a dragstrip locally. And if the council won't allow it, i'll stack the council with my own people to make it happen.

I've got a System 9 and a megapick that I bought. Also went in on the same with my mother and her boyfriend. I've never won anything in lotto so don't expect much different this time but bugger all chance is still better than zero chance.

A house and a car and donating to charity would be a given. Haven't though much pass that. $70m is a lot of money. I couldn't spend it all to save my life I reckon.

The 2 numbers that I didn't get were only out by 1 digit.

5 main numbers is division 5. Based on last weeks dividend that would be $50

Looks like it might have gone off. Showing $2m for next week
