Can buy a cheap red and 1 x fish n chips LOL........
Look at it this way - your purchase will be used for all sorts of weird and wonderful things when Lotto fund them - some 99% of us would agree with as being worthy of funds, and others - well they fall in the weird catagory

I have said for years, I will get first division when I am in a retirement village and be thrilled to bits at being able to go from a 3 wheel Gopher to a 4 wheel Gopher. Watch out you mugs in the shopping mall.

Deposit the $23.15 in the Bank, then stop buying Oz Lotto. You can then congratulate yourself that it's $23.15 less that you've wasted on Oz Lotto.

I can concur with that huge win, as I have collected a few like it down through the years. One day I may... repeat may receive a "insurance" payout to cover the risk I take.
I view my weekly Saturday night lotto ticket, the same as many of the Insurance policies that we pay each year. Only difference is that I want to claim on this policy. Again Maybe, just Maybe I will get full reimbursement for the years I have supported other peoples wins.

Come off it Keith,
The Banks now want you to pay for deposits going in.
I got some professional financial advice from Lambie.
Put the $23.15 in the News agents Syndicate for Power ball. Yes mame I will head down and blow the lot.

"Yep" It does make you sick to hear of someone winning the Lotto more than once,
I recall when I first came to Perth, way back in 68, there was an interview on the radio with an old Dear, who lived in a big flash house ( on her own, Husband carked it years ago ) in one of the better Suburbs, Who had won the Lotto Twice in so many months,
They asked her what she would be doing with the Second winnings ? her answer was, Don't know, "haven't spent any of the first lot yet" !!!
I reckon, if a person wins first prize, they should be banned from entering again, give someone else a chance.

Don't talk to me about sick leave ... I think that your approach was better than mine. When I retired after 43 years I left behind 86 weeks of half pay S/L and around 70 weeks full pay.
All academic of course as there was a little known regulation that meant that if you exceeded a certain number of sick days over a defined period then you had to be assessed by the GMO to see if you would be invalided out.
I'll never win lotto as I have never taken a ticket or whatever you do. In my maths studies many years ago we looked at probability & that convinced me that the casket was not a good way to spend the hard earned.
That doesn't stop me from dreaming of how I would spend 90 mil or so when I see the TV adds. Lets see 10 to each of my children, 1 to each of my siblings, ..... that's only 25 mil ... then what?
Perhaps a big party for all of my ex workmates & another for my friends & neighbours ... but that's only tens of thousands so it doesn't really count.
Similarly a new motorhome is only peanuts too and doesn't help.
A charity perhaps ..... A bit for the tax man of course ... with all those gifts. And then there's my financial advisor who will get a cut too.
SWMBO will no doubt want a round the world top class cruise on QE11 or whatever.
Oh the problems .. makes the head spin.
What a problem. One that I will never have.
Aus-Kiwi said
01:18 AM Nov 12, 2015
Yes its a bit silly .. I mean $1m would set you up and your family is your doing o/k before hand. The rest could go to other battlers out there..
Thing is most will sell and buy an expensive property on the coast ? Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane..
As strange as it seems you can only help so much when it comes to financial help..
Yes I had nearly 2 years sick leave .. But I cant complain about redundancy..
hadn't taken any Long service either..
Privatising electricity pole & wires worked for me..

Theres a 77 million to one chance of winning the $70M lotto - I never buy tickets in these "super" draws.
Just buy the odd one for an ordinary Saturday draw for a bit of fun.
The only vice I have left - other than the one on the work shop bench (and my $4.99 cleanskin soft red bottles which I buy as a carton lot and its $4.50 - very drinkable and better than any cardboard stuff Ive tried)

My late father-in-law spent around $100/week every week on Lotto. Did it for over 20 years. That's over $5000/year or $100,000 over 20 years. He won virtually nothing. Boredom in retirement was his motive for doing it.
Would've been better off giving it to charity. What a waste.
Young Simmo said
01:18 PM Nov 12, 2015
Desert Dweller, It's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other, and what if he had one win in those 20 years. If your not in it you wont win it. If you are in it you might win it. I blow 34 bucks every week on Sat, Tue and, Thur. Also 16 Bucks a week on TAB favourites numbers. (2 X 8 gamers each Sat and Wed)
The kids will have to be happy with what ever is left, and even if that is 1 cent, it will be 1 cent more than I got.
OK, I must have said something that is not 100% right.

Oop's that should read $34 per week on, 3 X 12 gamers.

$23 is better than a poke in the eye with a stick, at least you got more than double you money back, I put in $20 and if lucky get $14 back to reinvest in the next weeks run eventually I'll run out of reinvestment cash .

Three winners and I wasn't one just over $23million each I could learn to live with sharing . The $35 million went to one winner in South West Rocks which is a departure lounge if I've ever seen one will buy the same green food in the nursing home as the bloke down on his luck in the next bed Good Luck to them all
