8 lines this friday, will I win and quit my job forever?

An exciting weekend for lotteries are on its way. Friday brings on eurojackpot with a jackpot of €28m and saturday brings on the highly anticipated Australian Saturday Superdraw of $21m (aud) in which I have played both a big 11x11 syndicate share and 50 single lines. I played with part of my big winning from the last Superdraw in which I won about $600.

I checked my stats so far this year and total bets this year is $2140 and winnings $662, that's an ROI of 31%, which is not that good. Best lotteries are Euromillions (thanks to one moderate winning ticket) followed by the aussielotteries. this stats is before this upcoming Saturday Superdraw.

i get back to you with results after this saturday.

Friday a group of 10 people in a small town in Finland won the Eurojackpot first division prize and shared 67m euro taxfree. This is Eurojackpots biggest win ever and Finlands third big jackpot winner, why are they so crazy about this game in my neighbour contry? 11% of the bets were made from Finland...
Of my 24 lines i won naaaathing absolutly naaathing! to quote the brilliant movie UHFwith Weird Al Yankowich.
I put some lines down in a syndicate draw again in Australia Powerball, 1 share of 6 in a 12 superhit draws which plays the powerball as the 7 ball. I'm really not that fond off powerball in any country but i bet on luck and my regular weekly bets.

This week I will only play on Eurojackpot through official Svenska Spel here in Sweden. I add an additional ticket with 8 lines to my usual 2 tickets totaling 24 lines because the jackpot has increased so much. I bet about $100 this friday to my hunt for the €56m jackpot. Sweden don't have euro as currency so Svenska spel takes about €2.8 per ticket instead of usual €2 (to compensate for the exchange rate they claim) but also adds up the potential jackpot a bit, the jackpot in other countries are €56m but at Svenska Spel it's about €58m.

One number close to division one prize, but still a win. If I calculated right the saturday lotto from australia syndicate share system of 9x9 totaled:

4 division 3 prizes 1074,30x4 4,297,2 AUD
30 division 4 prizes 30,85x30 925,45 AUD
Totaling 522,7 AUD
/12 = 435 AUD
In US dollars this is about $388 per share. The shares are not paid out yet though

Put down 1 share of 9x9 syndicate on australia Saturday march 29th Superdraw. A wise choice to share losses and potential winnings. I also like that playing on this lottery is done on an official goverment regulated site. Allowed in Sweden but not allowed in US as many lotteries are not.

Have moved back to my hometown this saturday. Completely exhausted.

No winnings on the Big Eurojackpot that rolled over once again, this time to the massive tax-free $66 millions. It's not often the competitor to Euro Millions rolls over this many times. Gonna put down 16 lines next friday again.

$10 on Mega Millions for matching 1+PB on my multi-draw.

Next week the big saturday super draw on official australian lottery, AUD $21 millions awaits with an chance of winning the jackpot of 1:8,145,065.

Happy hunting everyone!

I play many different lotteries here in Sweden, most of them from official Svenska spel, but also using online concierge services, not to ever be mentioned here though. I have no big win so far from lotteries but have some big wins from horse racing, about $40k, which now all is gone...

 I will post games and wins on this blog.

This friday I await results from Euromillions and Eurojackpot... Eurojackpot is big time this friday. $56.000.000 and that's taxfree!
