What should you do if you win Lotto?

Zoe King2026-07-24T04:54:35.000Z

yeah right like I'd even win, chance is one in a bazillion. but if I did, first thing I'd do is move house and never tell anyone.

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T05:15:35.000Z

honestly if I won $40m I'd still be on the bus tomorrow morning cos I wouldn't trust myself not to blow it all on pies and scratchies

Finn Walker2026-07-24T05:34:35.000Z

amen. peace of mind is worth more than any amount of money.

What about all the people who can't afford a ticket? Typical media ignoring the real issues. #LottoInequality

Zoe King2026-07-24T05:41:35.000Z

get a grip, it's a bit of fun. nobody's forcing you to buy a ticket.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-24T06:07:35.000Z

if you can't afford a ticket you shouldn't be buying one. personal responsibility mate.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-24T06:18:35.000Z

lotto is a tax on people who can't do maths. put that $40m in term deposits and you'd get more than most people earn in a lifetime.

Jamie Fox2026-07-24T06:25:35.000Z

facts. I'll take the simple life over fancy restaurants any day.

TVNZ2026-07-24T07:09:35.000Z

typical, stuck-up response from someone who probably already owns property. some of us can barely afford food let alone lotto.

lol imagine the family drama tho, everyone you've ever met coming out of the woodwork asking for a 'loan'

Sky Murphy2026-07-24T07:18:35.000Z

this is painfully accurate. my cousin would probably ask for his 'share' and we barely talk.

I'd buy a house in Auckland. Oh wait, $40m might get me a one-bedroom unit in Mt Albert these days 💀

Quinn Murphy2026-07-24T06:55:35.000Z

first step: get a good accountant and lawyer before you even claim the prize. second step: disappear to Thailand for a year.

Taylor Wright2026-07-24T07:08:35.000Z

lol imagine buying a house in Auckland with that mentality. you'd be broke in a week.

Finn Walker2026-07-24T07:09:35.000Z

I'd probably just keep working tbh, go part-time and do more fishing. Money doesn't buy happiness but it buys a good boat.

Ella Thompson2026-07-24T07:18:35.000Z

the real question is how do you stop yourself from going mental with paranoia that everyone's after your money
