A note on buying overseas lottery tickets and winning the jackpot if you live in SA. This is from the company that facilitates the buying of physical tickets on your behalf overseas:

“The online lottery system has yet to have sold a jackpot winning ticket, but we process in excess of 2500 winning entries per week. The majority of these are usually fist tier winnings of approximatley $10.00, but a draw seldom goes by in which we don’t process a winning ticket in excess of $1000. The biggest win we have processed to date was in excess of $1.2million when one of our customers correctly selected all 5 main numbers and one of the two “Star” numbers on the EuroMillions draw. This customer chose to remain anonymous, as is the case with 99% of all lottery winners that have won a substantial prize.”
