You'd have to go back 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,239 Speaker 2: to August last year when you was a prize to 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: forty four million and that was claimed by a single winner. 7 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: So they were our biggest ever winner at that time, 8 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: forty four point sixty seven million in August last year. 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: Oh so if a single ticket scores tonight, it'll make history. 10 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: If a single person wins, they will be Yeah, the 11 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: record holder. 12 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: Is it true that if it's us, we get the 13 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: whole forty five mil just dumped in our bank account. 14 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 1: It's not taxed or anything. 15 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: Well, dumped as an inelegant term, you know, it's transferred. 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: You get all of the money all at once. Yeah, 17 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 2: it's it's a winfall. So we do help our winners 18 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: and we sort of sitting down and talk to them 19 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: and we do, you know, connect them with a private 20 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: bank to at their bank to give them some information 21 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: around wealth management, because, like you say, it's a lot 22 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: of money, it's be dumped into an account. Low people 23 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: just don't know what to do so we can eat 24 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: them up and set them on the road to using 25 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 2: it in a smart way. 26 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: What are the things you find major winners choose to 27 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: spend on. What are the first go tos? 28 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: The first thing people always talk about a family. So yeah, 29 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: whenever we talk to people, it's always what can I 30 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: do to the kids or mom and dad or what 31 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 2: have you? And then it's always mortgages, the fun stuff 32 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: those buying. Yeah, buying houses, that's always exciting. We've had 33 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: a few parts this year managed to buy their first 34 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 2: house after winning a lot or powerball. And then people 35 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: often have something that's been thinking about, whether it's a 36 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: motorbike or a new lawnmar. 37 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Or something straight toys and holidays. That's what tickles me. Heysel, 38 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: if it's not struck tonight, does ejectpot to fifty mil 39 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: on Saturday? And is that must win territory? 40 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, this must be one territory. So yeah, the high 41 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: on's basically every ticket, a little portion of that goes 42 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: into a prize pool for division on. When that takes 43 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: over fifteen million dollars, we've got to say to ourself 44 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: it must be one, because there must be one. It 45 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: can technically go a bit higher on the label it 46 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: must be one it can go. But the highest we've 47 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: ever actually said it that is that fifty mark five zero. 48 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 2: And yeah, if that doesn't get struck on Saturday, if 49 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: someone doesn't win it in division one, then it rolls 50 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: down and division two split it. 51 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: You see. I am the socialist in me likes the 52 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: sound of that. And we've had quite a number of 53 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: second division wins from mid Canibury this year, so they 54 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: could bode in our favor. How excited are people? Well, 55 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: how many tickets to expect to sell? 56 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we expect to sell about one and a half 57 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: million for the straw. There is a lot of engagement. 58 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 2: People are into it. Yeah, and we've seen interests right 59 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: across the country. I will tell you that interestingly, it's 60 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: been a year or two halves for the different parts 61 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 2: of the country. Auckland hasn't had a powerble when since 62 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 2: Christmas last year. 63 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: That's wrong with that, you'll keep it that way. 64 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: I thought you might say that. I think Crushiach is 65 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: there three Wellington and Need and so it's been spread 66 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 2: around the rest of the country. 67 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, I like the sound of that. Hey, super 68 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: super quake. This is something that's probably because I didn't 69 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: do too well in high school maths. I still can't 70 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: get my head around. Is it true that it doesn't 71 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: matter what lofty heights the amount gets to and how 72 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: many tickets are sold, the odds of winning remain the 73 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: exact same. 74 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: Correct? Yeah, so it's one, and it's one in thirty 75 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: eight millions for every line and earvery rule for powerful 76 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: division one. So we do to our players, even with 77 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: big jackpots, I'd still say, still stay small. It's still 78 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: an outside chance of winning, a very very outside chance. 79 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: So we do ask people to keep that in perspective 80 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: when looking at whether they want to buy a ticket 81 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: and what size of ticket. So it gets exciting, no doubt, 82 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, the odd they stay the same. 83 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: But will you're telling me there's a chance. 84 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: There's always a chance, Hey too. 85 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Right, there is. I'll be lighting up today.
