Actually the highest jackpot in the world is here in Italy. I already know a lot of spanish, french and english people are playing Superenalotto this Saturday to prove their fortune. Is anybody here going to try? :lol::lol::lol:

Dolores McNamara, housewife, a resident of Limerick, Ireland, won a tax-free lump sum of €115,436,126 (~$154m) when she hit a nine-week rollover jackpot. McNamara was the World's biggest individual lottery winner (in terms of money actually received after deductions) until May 2009, when a 25-year-old woman from Spain won the €126,231,764 Euromillions jackpot.

Weeeeee.

olol This. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1201932/What-lotto-bad-luck-Couple-30k-ticket-forced-hand-half-cash-real-winner.html)

I don't understand Euros so to me those numbers are nothing more than just numbers. Anywhos, here in Australia the lotto has also gone up to something like $80 million. Geez! How do they get all that money... And where from... <_<

From selling tickets of course. And people hardly ever win, so they just keep adding more and more money to the jackpot.

... Makes sense

Weeeeee.

I never stated this is the highest jackpot ever, did I? :)


I don't understand Euros so to me those numbers are nothing more than just numbers.

They're a little bit more than US Dollars considering the actual change. A lot of money anyway. :lol:

It's basically 1.4 US dollars to 1 Euro. Meaning this jackpot is about 149.6 Million

And, Chopin345, your wording makes people think that the jackpot is the highest in the world. Might want to consider rewording it.

EDIT: And I also suck at names. I meant Chopin4525.

Haha M. You got the name wrong... Anyways...


Actually the highest jackpot in the world is here in Italy.

Chopin, you do realise you say highest jackpot in the world. Therefore people though the highest ever. You should have probably phrased it like this...

The highest jackpot to ever be in Italy! Is anyone entering... etc. etc.

There we go problem fixed. ^_^

Edit - Whoops! I just realised my post is almost the exact same as M's. Sorry for the "double post" :P
