Our local lottery starts to look a little bit silly when you convert the overseas lotteries into Rands. And with this online service that let’s you safely play those lottos, you’d be nuts to ignore it!

The online service, who recently came clean about how they work, have a countdown clock showing how long you have to buy tickets for each lottery. When we posted this article it showed 15 hours left, to buy tickets for the US Mega Millions lottery. That jackpot is sitting at $85 million. In our local currency, that comes to just over 1 BILLION RAND!

So if you’re worried how your latest measly paycheck is going to get you through the month, why wouldn’t you spend some small change on the chance to win big. The chances of winning are small – sure – but they’re a big fat zero if you don’t have a ticket. And anyway, isn’t it fun to talk about ‘what if?’

I just bought my tickets – these are my numbers.

Wish me luck!
