The few of you out there who didn’t get a ticket to last night’s BILLION RAND LOTTERY, have been given a second chance. Personally, I don’t like to live on the edge like that. It can only be assumed that people don’t buy tickets because they think the lottery is going to rollover. Either that, […]
Wow it’s been a long time since the lottery was at R1 billion. But here we are, with tomorrow’s Powerball lottery sitting at $120 million. That’s “a lot of tin,” as they say in Johannesburg, and I’m sure we’ve all dreamt of the various things we would do with the money. Buying the yacht and […]
You played the overseas lottery before and you didn’t win. The lottery rolled over and you bought another ticket. You didn’t win again. So what did you do? You stopped playing. Can I tell you something? The joke’s on you, my friend. Because the very fact that you played the first time meant that you understood […]
It’s been over a month since we last chatted about the lottery jackpot being over R1 billion. Regulars will know the reason for that – 2oceansvibe only gets excited about the overseas lottery jackpots when they roll over enough times to give us a Billion Rand or higher jackpot. And that’s exactly what has happened […]
The more aspirational of us often discuss the difference between what “your” R10 million or R20 million or R50 million buys on “either side of the mountain.” These chats usually take place around EuroMillions lottery draw time. More to the point, we compare the size of the property you can get in Clifton, with the options […]
You might have caught the article in yesterday Sunday Times newspaper about Jacob Zuma getting a new jet. In fact he and the deputy president are getting TWO new jets, which come to a total of R1,6 Billion. That’s R800 million per jet! We did some snooping around and managed to get some photographs (and […]
The US Powerball lottery, which is played by people all over the world, had a jackpot this last weekend of $200 million (R1,5 billion). Whilst there were many smaller winners, no one had the right numbers to win the big jackpot prize. That means that the jackpot rolls over and gets bigger. This Wednesday’s US […]
One and a half billion Rand is usually as high as these overseas lottery jackpots ever get. That is why I bought the following numbers for this weekend’s US Powerball lottery. What number will you choose? It has rolled over so many times that it is now at $203 Million, which works out to R […]
I find it terribly amusing when people “choose not” to play the lottery. Haaaah! How sad can you get? Especially when it goes over one billion Rand! I know a lot of people who only play when it goes over one billion – and I know at least they’re in there like swimwear. Houses like this on […]
A 2oceansViber, Brandon M, sent in this email. Hi Seth I am currently working as an engineer on a 38m superyacht called Shooting Star. She is brand new, built by Danish Yachts and is currently operating as a showboat for the yard and is for sale for €18 500 00. She’s fully carbon fibre and […]
The last time the Euromillions lottery rolled-over as many times as this, it went a little further – right up to R1.8 Billion. It was won by a fairly plump couple in Scotland. We bought tickets to that one, and will without doubt be doing the same this time! After all, the chances of winning are […]
This yacht is called ‘Latitude‘ and it rents at R2 million a week. Rihanna recently paid that price for a couple weeks which is pretty cool for her, but even cooler for the guy that owns the yacht. And that is why I must ask the question, do you play the local South African lottery, […]
Not sure if you caught the article in the Sunday Times about Dean Rees, who ran a ponzi scheme which sucked in and spat out the likes of former Pick n Pay CEO, Sean Summers. You can read the article here, if you missed it. So anyway, he has run off to Switzerland, where he […]
We chatted the other day about the private jet that Julius Malema uses and how we find it completely useless. We also discovered that the private jets that we really intend on owning once we win the lottery, are way out of reach for the South African lottery. Tuesday’s jackpot was something like R750 million and […]
If you caught this weekend’s Sunday Times you will know all about the private jet that Julius Malema flies around in. You know – the jet that belongs to his buddy, who gets tenders from Jules. Fraud and corruption aside, I just wanted to chat about the jet itself. People seem to get very excited […]
Cruising around somewhere in Pretoria, is the unwitting winner of R30-million in the National Lottery. He or she has been going about their business every day, with no idea that they hold the ticket to the PowerBall jackpot drawn on 17 August last year. And there are only six more days until the winnings expire.
Just the other day we saw this couple taking home R1.8 Billion in the Euromillions lottery. I was one of MANY people that bought tickets for that lottery. Pity my ship didn’t come in – or rather my YACHT! That R1.8 Billion couple had the same chances as me – but one thing’s for sure, […]
Who can forget this charming couple who walked away with the R1,8 Billion EuroMillions lottery jackpot just a couple weeks ago? The chances are better if you buy a ticket… You can hate them as much as you want, but one thing is for sure – you gotta give them credit for buying a ticket! […]
I do feel sorry for the people out there who didn’t play the EuroMillions lottery over the last couple of weeks, as it rolled over and over, resulting in a jackpot of R1.8 Million (EUR 182 Million). They bitched and moaned about how stupid it was to enter the lottery, while we discussed buying $100 […]
The Telegraph and CNN and SKY News are running massive stories at the moment about the single winning ticket of Tuesday’s R1.8Billion EuroMillions jackpot. While one single ticket HAS won the jackpot, nobody has come forward yet! This from the Telegraph: The single ticket scooped the huge jackpot after a series of rollovers but nearly […]
They never thought it possible.. I mean how could a jackpot ever go over the previous biggest EuroMillions lottery winner’s jackpot? We all remember the anonymous ticketholder who scooped a £113million prize last October. But it has gone bigger, with ongoing rollovers breaking records on a weekly basis. Friday’s jackpot is now sitting on an […]
Last Friday’s jackpot draw was an all-time record for the EuroMillions lottery – both in size and the amount of times it had rolled over (11). People were losing their minds, with many who had never played before, buying tickets. When it’s that big, only a fool wouldn’t enter. The chances of winning are smaller. […]
SkyNews is reporting that tomorrow’s EuroMillions lottery jackpot is the highest ever. “The biggest lottery jackpot ever up for grabs in the UK could be won on the EuroMillions tonight. A haul of £136m (One and a half BILLION Rand) could go to the winner, according to operator Camelot.”
11 rollovers in a row is an all time record for the Euromillions lottery. Are you honestly going to ignore this one? Why would you NOT want to have R1,500,000,000 in your bank account? Do you have ANY idea how happy you will be? If you missed the other draws and were upset when you […]
We often joke about only entering the Euromillions lottery, when the jackpot hits One Billion Rand – as if the ‘little’ R500 million draws aren’t worth the effort! So for all of you out there who only enter “the big ones” – this is one of the biggest Euromillions jackpots OF ALL TIME. They don’t […]
Colin Moss was distraught on Wednesday when I saw him. He told me that he had missed the cutoff time for Tuesday night’s MASSIVE EuroMillions lottery draw, and only got tickets for the next draw, on Friday (today). “Don’t fret,” I told him, “it was a rollover!” “So my ticket will be for the rollover?” […]
Did you see that video of Donald Trump’s new private jet? It cost him $100 million. Check it out here. I’ll be buying one if I win tomorrow’s Euromillions lottery which is sporting a €101,000,000 jackpot. You might also be able to buy one if you win. But you need to get a ticket first. […]
It is important that you watch videos like this, because it will give you ideas for when you win one of the overseas lotteries. Donald Trump has just bought himself a new Boeing 757 Private Jet for $100 Million. So with some of the big overseas lottery jackpots (they go up to $250 Million) you […]
There are actually two massive stories here, but I didn’t want to litter that headline. You’re here now anyway, right? Exactly. Well listen to this – not only was the Euromillions lottery won this weekend (£121 million jackpot = R1.3 billion), but the US Mega Millions lottery (coincidentally posting an equally rare jackpot of $312 […]
Remember we told you that the Euromillions lottery jackpot was R1 Billion last Friday? Well enjoy this – it was a rollover. that means the jackpot is even bigger this Friday. R300 Million bigger. With a total jackpot of R1.3 Billion (EUR 133 Million). These are my ticket numbers: What are yours? CLICK HERE to […]
