Big Wednesday

It's Big Wednesday! That's New Zealand's Wednesday lottery drawing. Tonight's jackpot is $35million in cash and luxury prizes ("win the ultimate lifestyle"). Tonight's drawing is also a 'must win' drawing, meaning (we think) that if no one picks all six numbers, the prize will be divided among those who picked five of six.

There are only 4 million people in New Zealand, and tonight's drawing has caused such a frenzy that nearly 4 million tickets have been sold! There were lines out the doors of the convenience stores where the tickets are sold.

Not to be left out, we are holding our very own Big Wednesday ticket. As it's a must-win drawing, our chances of winning must be at least one in four million, right? That's not too shabby...

UPDATE: We matched 4 out of 6 numbers, which is good for $19 - yay!
