For their AUD$100 they bought a share of about 24 x system 12 (all possible combinations of 7 numbers from a set of 12 (about 792 lines per entry))

They probably only do this for very large jackpots

So, they bought tickets for 100 players.

( 100 / 1.52 ) EUR

= 65.79 EUR / player

Was that a single play or do they do this a lot?

What did they play, a wheel or other, and how did they validate?

Many technical questions.

They can now adopt koala babies in need!

They can get wombats to cuddle!

Great question and with everything going on had forgot all about it.

IF it happens don't want them changing the matrix to SEVEN #'s from our six...but their greed takes precedent so who knows

WE ING DID IT, the newsagent posted to their Facebook page. The update was then deleted, but a screenshot has thankfully memorialized the store's bursting energy.

They were snipping.

250 people, and they still managed to get over 250, 000 each. Great job by the organizers of making the tickets affordable for the group. Anytime you can trade $100 for $253,000,..... it's a good day.

Half asleep but had to read the cost of the ticket---$25K!!

So glad that huge group (is that a record?) of 250 certainly deserved to win the pot. Good bye mortgages
