I check my lotto results online and sometimes I get this 'You're a winner' message... but nothing else

 

 

 

Am I really a winner??

???

 

you simply check the results history under your menu options and you can easily see which draws you won those bonus tickets and the subsequent bonus tickets issued.

 

 

 

it’s pretty straight forward to follow….

You will have a new 4 line ticket, but no cash.

I think theres some sarcasm in the OP :)

 

I know what you mean.... "a free ticket!" etc... wish they'd only show that when you get over $500 :D

I hate checking a ticket in store and getting a loud fanfare when you've won a free line of Strike or similar. It's not only silly, it could potentially be dangerous in the wrong neighbourhood - someone hanging outside hears the rapturous sounds of a winner and immediately figures they're onto a payday.

The lotto app scans tickets and tells you if you're a winner so no need to go instore.

Anything won is good, because it is won... regardless.  But either way you lost your $16 😊

Yes - I use it regularly, but if I happen to be near or in the dairy and have a lotto ticket on me, I will check it instore

We do 10 weeks worth of Lotto of 7 lines which rotates through 7 numbers for $98, (2 draws/per week = 20 draws) which is the maximum you can do. We just check each draw with the bar code scanning ability in the phone app. We usually get several bonus lines wins per 10 weeks and we usually but not always, win small amounts of cash, from a cup of coffee to a slab of beer worth.

 

When the Power Ball gets around the $15 million mark we buy a $20 Triple Dip.

 

We can afford $98 per 10 weeks so win or loose this is our only charitable donation.





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

It is clear in the screen shot you attached ' 4 bonus lines ' for the next draw
