OK I have sort of been hankering after a Nikon D7100 and money was the issue.

I think I may have picked one up with extra lenses, battery, memory card, flash - the whole lot for as little as NZ$24.00

Hold thumbs for lotto tonight! :)

I personally know 1 person who won ZAR10,5000.000 (South Africa and a substantial amount there) and some one here who shared the main prize and walked away with NZ$165,000.00

You gotta be in to win ... right?

Anyone here ever won BIG?

After winning he took her to visit his family in his own country,his mother washed his fathers feet every time he came home and told her she should do the same,i tried it with my wife it took three surgeons two hours to remove the water bowl. :D

Well the draw is history so I either won or not - always delay checking.
As a fall back I do have some Nigerian contacts waiting to hear from me ...

I haven't won, but I haven't routinely played either. A while ago, our office went in when one of them was really high. I think we ended up with $240 worth of tickets, and we didn't get a cent in return. Didn't even have a pick with three matching numbers... I believe that was the only time I've ever played.

The methods of the lottery are so in favor of those run them, that only the government can get away with doing it. By the time the Lotto office gets its share, and taxes are paid on the winnings, it is making a mint. The saying goes something like: "The lottery is a tax on those who are bad at math."

I wish you all of the good fortune in the world though.

The odds are definitely stacked against one but I guess the dream makes people buy. In New Zealand we are guaranteed a $1 million winner every week.
I don't usually play but last night thought I would give it a go.
Just checked online and it seems I won $31.00 for my $24.00 outlay. 4 numbers out of 6 and that is all I get.

Be a while before I upgrade then. :(
