A Cure for Big Wednesday!

Big Wednesday has been lingering around longer than the latest strain of Swine Flu but a cure has finally been found, a must win draw!

The $35 million prize, bumped up from $30 million, will far exceed the current biggest NZ lotteries prize of $19 million won last year.

But for those humble fellows who have put a tenner on the counter of their local lotto store every week, looking for a quick fix to the ‘recession’, this prolonged money-grabbing has  gone on too far.

The last time Big Wednesday was won was in January of this year, about 20 weeks ago, so with a few calculations, that adds up to a gradual bill of over $200 to win a prize that seems to have gone on holiday.

It’s not a huge amount, but for a cash-strapped family, paying $200 alone of Big Wednesday is far too much for a pipe dream.

The big positive is that we will have at least one winner by tonight (providing the set isn’t overun by a mob of pissed-off Big Wednesday regulars) and reports say that there will likely be many winners.

Perhaps Big Wednesday will actually win some fans tonight, if the grand prize falls to third division there could be as many as 500 winners who share the pot. Here’s hoping!
