watched the morning news and they reported who the winners of the 70 million AUD lottery were.
it's a nice story - they are a group of ladies who live at Runaway Bay in the Gold Coast area.
10 of them pooled together loose change to buy tickets, so each will get 7 million AUD.
there was a funny comment about one of their husbands wanting to buy a race horse, but obviously the prize money is not his to spend.
at the same time, there was another news story about a bigger lottery prize taken by 2 winners in America.
$636 million! split between 2 winners.
that's really a crazy amount of money. they can get houses in Kensington Palace Gardens!
auntie P gave me a 'scratch and win' lottery ticket that cost $1 and i won - a free lottery ticket, which i haven't collected.
i'm not about to start spending all my dough on lotteries, but it's true, "you have to be in it to win it" and "give luck a chance".
that works for a lot of other things as well.
