another week, another 'maybe this time' for the dreamers. good luck getting that $30m when the system's rigged as hell.

bloody oath, feels like a tax on people who can't do maths

Ruby Fraser2026-07-16T00:11:26.000Z

honestly, who actually wins these things? feels like the same few people every time

Chloe Martin2026-07-16T00:18:26.000Z

oh wow $30m they'll probably just hike the price again next year anyway

Zoe King2026-07-16T00:29:26.000Z

FFS I only got one number right. as per usual.

Zoe King2026-07-16T00:36:26.000Z

lol same, my ticket was a dud too. maybe third time lucky?

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T00:35:26.000Z

good on the two winners! hope they put it to good use. better than the lotto corp taking it all.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-16T00:52:26.000Z

watch everyone and their dog line up at the dairy this saturday morning. i'll be there with my $20 lol

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T01:00:26.000Z

$30m is just obscene. they should cap these jackpots and put the rest into health or something

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T01:46:26.000Z

cap it? nah they'd just take more in tax. classic nz govt move

Chloe Martin2026-07-16T01:17:26.000Z

yeah nah not worth it. odds are like being struck by lightning while winning a second lottery.

Chloe Martin2026-07-16T02:11:26.000Z

facts, i'd rather keep my $8 and buy a pie

Zoe King2026-07-16T01:30:26.000Z

imagine the stress of having $30m though. everyone you know suddenly wants a piece.

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T01:41:26.000Z

my mum always said you have to be in it to win it. might grab a ticket for her

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T02:09:26.000Z

aw that's sweet. hope you win it for her!
