Hi KP...that's true...the big prize goes off but it isn't disclosed. That's fair enough because the series includes a number of varying prizes and until they're all won the fat lady hasn't sung. Spending your $1 or so is like agreeing to the conditions.
My biggest gripe is with Lotto.
Prizes should not be allowed to balloon to outrageous jackpots. The other divisions a severely under funded. Who wants to get 5 numbers for a paltry $800 division 3 or 5 and a supplementary for a paltry $10k or so for division 2...these amounts vary pending the amount of winners. But you get the idea...$10k v $70,000k. And divisions 4 and 5 are barely worth buying the ticket.
The biggest pay increase the average australian can have is paying their mortgage off or being able to afford a modest place to not pay rent. $70,000,000 would've been better karma if 125 tickets won $560,000. That is more than enough to take the 'edge' off life finances...unless you want to blow $400,000 on cocaine...
The same way Lotto guarantees certain prizes for division 1 maybe it should start guaranteeing $500k for division 2 and $50k for division 3...obviously adjusted to suit the total jackpot. Cap division 1 at $20m and I'm sure they can work out something fair on these MEGA jackpots.
I'm sure you all get my drift. The problem with the above link. There is nothing wrong with the love of money...it goes catastrophically pear shaped when the GREED of money takes over.
