Speaker 5: The boys though we're talking whip in particular, that it

24
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 5: would get them down having a job like yours, because

25
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 5: you have to call you give someone else or you know,

26
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 5: bestow upon them all this greatness and then you go

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 5: back to your your life that doesn't involve one hundred

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 5: million dollars.

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: No, that's right. It's sort of like five to ten

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: minutes of euphoria and then straight back to reality after that.

31
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: So you get to share in their joy and in

32
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: their peers and everything else. They tell you all these

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: fantastic stories and you get really emotional as well, and

34
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: then you hop off the phone and say, well, I'm

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: going to go back to work.

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: So, James, did you make the call to the lady

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: in Singleton, the mother that won last night?

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: No? So that's that's the way I worked out last night.

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: So my colleague an a hob deal. It was the

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: caller who spoke with the woman last night, and I

41
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: had to sit there and go So I'll go away

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: for this Queensland first.

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: And Becomeingland job. So does that work?

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: How does that? How does well work? Well?

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: How does it work? So somebody goes to to the

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: news agency and buys a Powerball ticket and they have

47
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: the tangible ticket instead of an account with Powerball, Then

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: can that person I mean they wake out this morning

49
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 3: not realizing they've won one hundred million dollars.

50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So look, it's either registered or unregistered. So

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: you can register an entry to an online account or

52
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: to a player's card, and that's how you can do it.

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Stories with a player's card. These guys obviously just went

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: he walked in and said I'd love the ticket. They went, yep,

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: now he's printed out, paid for it and walked away.

56
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: So look, they may well have checked it last night

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: and had a sleepless night and they were waiting until

58
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: this morning to come forward and give us a call

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: and say look at it's me, or to walk into

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: one of our head offices. But in all likelihoods they

61
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: just need to check their ticket and then give us

62
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: a call on one three one eight six eight and

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: have a chat with me about it.

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: Okay, But as you were saying, fits, what happens if

65
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 3: you don't find that person and it then go back

66
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: into the tank and after how long?

67
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: No? No, In Queensland they've got seven years to claim

68
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: their price. So this person in a couple of years time,

69
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, and this is a big if could find

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: this entry and give us a call in a couple

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: of years time, and so look on that one hundred

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: million dollars winner that you've been looking for, and then

73
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: we'd be over the moon.

74
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 5: That's amazing. I'm intrigued by the fact that somebody may

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 5: know that they have won and they're just sitting on it,

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: like what are they doing? Are they are they packing

77
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 5: with that? They're getting things in order before they really you.

78
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: Know, James, James, why do we Why in America you

79
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: can remain anonymous. Why do we make it public here

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: in Australia.

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: No, You've got the other way around. So in America

82
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: they actually make you public, and here we allow you

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: to remain anonymous. So that's the way it happens over there.

84
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: That's why there was a recent billion dollar Powerable winner

85
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: or something in the US and you actually look up

86
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: stories and photos of him. I'm pretty sure Abarazzi is

87
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: still following around here. There's options, I mean, where they

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: can say, look, I want to remain completely anonymous. I

89
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: don't want to know anyone to know anything about me. Thankfully.

90
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: You know, last night this singles, some woman was quite

91
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: happy to share some fantastic information about what she was

92
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: looking to do, how she was feeling. She was remarkably

93
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: relaxed for someone who just won one hundred million dollars.

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: To be honest, she was. I would not have been

95
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: sitting there sort of having the conversation that she had.

96
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: I probably would have been jumping up and down and

97
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: heading to the ext door.

98
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: What's your advice or are you allowed to give it?

99
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 5: In these scenarios around being anonymous or remaining anonymous? So

100
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 5: if they say to you, because I would imagine I'd

101
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 5: be like, well, what do you think I should do?

102
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 5: James Eddie, you know, should should? I like, what what

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: do you think? Is that is the best way of

104
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: handling it for these people.

105
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 1: I mean, we always use a nondescriptive information, so nothing

106
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: that could be traced back to an individual. So if

107
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: there's anything there that we think, well that's a little

108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: bit too close and people might be able to put

109
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: two and two together and figure out that you are,

110
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: in fact the winner of this one hundred billion dollars raw,

111
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: then you know, we'll leave that out. So the media

112
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: release and the stuff like that that we do in

113
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: the media that we speak to, there's no information that

114
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: we give out that could actually be traced back to

115
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: this individual.

116
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 2: How do you work your way up, James, to be

117
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 2: the caller?

118
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 5: Right?

119
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: So in the lot in the business, where did you start?

120
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: How did you work up and go and put your

121
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: hand up and go out? Robert can only the person

122
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: that makes the calls?

123
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: I know. I just started in the role and got

124
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: given a phone and told to go and have a

125
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: chat with them. That was That was how it worked

126
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: out for me a couple of years ago.

127
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 4: You sound so powerful, though, I'm sorry when you said that.

128
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 5: What's the number they have to call if they're the

129
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: person from Queensland?

130
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: What is it? It's one three one eight six eight

131
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's it might just be exhaustion,

132
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with yees ye, No, you said something.
