Another millionaire off the tax everyone else pays and nothing changes for the rest of us. Must be nice.

nah get stuffed mate, let people dream. We all know who the real winner is — the taxman.

Lucky bugger. Meanwhile I’ll be back on the tools at 1pm knowing my Lotto ticket is in the bin where it belongs.

Imagine checking your MyLotto account over lunch and seeing that. I’d probably choke on my sandwich.

energy. I’d probably spill my coffee and miss the email.

Ffs I bought a ticket too. Just once I’d like to see my account not say “sorry, not a winner”. 😤

cope harder. Someone’s gotta win, just never us.

Seventeen winners? That’s like seventeen people who didn’t learn from the last time. But good on ’em I guess.

people splitting what, $50k each? That’s a used Camry and a weekend at the bach.

$1m in this economy? Nice but not retire-early money. House deposit maybe. Still, better than a kick in the teeth.

MyLotto is the new normal honestly. No more queuing at the dairy, just disappointment delivered straight to your phone.
