Australian Lotto Frenzy

Australia is going crazy with lotto fever, with 90 million dollars (NOK 470 million) up for grabs in tonight's lotto draw. The jackpot is shattering all existing records and people have been queuing in long lines all over the country in order to secure a ticket. At my local shopping centre there was even a specially fenced-off area at the newsagent for people who wanted to buy a ticket.
The newsagent at my grocery shop was not as busy as the one at the shopping centre, but still had a steady flow of people buying lottery tickets the few minutes I was there.

My housemate Kate is definitely ready.

I caved in too and bought a ticket. I assume this is the winning one. With a 1 in 45 million chance to win, why not?
