Here's something I've always wondered.

 

I (like probably a lot of other people reading this) wouldn't mind winning something in Lotto, or even Instant Kiwi. I mean a significant prize - $15 is nice, but I won't be retiring on it :D

 

I've always wondered with the winning ticket, are most of the winners numbers chosen by the punter, or are they random numbers chosen by the machine (Lucky Dip)? I'd be curious to know the breakdown - is it 50% chosen, 50% random, or...?
I know the odds of winning the big prize are quite low, but it's something I've always wondered about and I can't seem to find a breakdown online anywhere.

There are more self made multi millionaires in the world than there or multi millionaire lotto winners

 

You have a much higher a chance of becoming a multi millionaire by acting on a good idea and working hard or investing your disposable income than you do at winning the lotto

 

Hope none of those winners last night txts their boss they quit before finding out how much they won ;)
