Powerball at R60 Million

[gboy]

I just saw Tuesdays jackpot is R60 million, the highest jackpot ever in SA, now that makes it worth while to play

Don't bother, some government minister already has the winning ticket.

I've been playing lotto since it first started. Every draw, religiously with out fail. Most I've ever won was 3 numbers and the bonus. Fsck the lotto, it is a legalized scam that robs money from the poor who are desperate to change their lives and are fooled into thinking they can do so by buying a lotto ticket. Will not buy another lotto ticket to help line the pockets of those running this BS.

I actually know two guys that won it in the same building/company in a matter of like 3 months but back then it was the Natal Lotto where every friday they published the winners and charities which you no longer see.

I know someone who won R3M, played one line, first time..and blew the cash in less than 6 months...

I have also been playing for years and only twice got 3 numbers. Its definitely BS but hey R60M would be nice

Sadly ronjay i do not believe this even though i do not part with my money.

You have a such a tiny chance of winning, you could play lotto for the 100000 years and never hit anything, your chances do not improve the more your play either as the numbers change .

Did mugabe a win a lotto once of 10 times? .

I used to play (and occasionally still do) for the smaller amounts (got 4 numbers once). I don't hope to get the jackpot.

I dunno Powerball - is it higher odds? Do the split the jackpot like normal?

The powerball has less chance of winning because the odds are even more against you. However they are bigger jackpots because the rollovers just continue until someone hits it. Still a load of BS though.
