Re: Purely hyperthetical question about winning Oz Lotto on Temp Visa
Sorry to contradict the all knowing MP but the website you have quoted is not an official lotto company ozLotteries.com are just RESELLERS and any info on their site should be taken with a pinch of salt.
Each state has its own operator of national Lotto games (Oz Lotto, Powerball & Sat Gold Lotto) and I would strongly urge anyone who wants to buy tickets online to only use the official site of your state (which is governed by the state lotto regulator). I have heard of many resellers taking money and not producing the goods.
Of course the easiest way of buying a ticket is in your friendly local newsagency!!

I think you are missing the point - there are many resellers of Lotto on the web some with professional sites some not so but at the end of the day they are resellers and have no problem selling to anyone. I note from this site that the purchaser never gets to see their ticket and an email is sent if there is a win, the cost of the tickets are more than through official outlets and they are totally unregulated. A lotto agency is very tightly regulated with heavy fines handed out for the slightest infringement to the lotto regulations.

Re: Purely hyperthetical question about winning Oz Lotto on Temp Visa
Ok, so all your numbers come up and you have won the Jackpot amount, say $20 million. As a Temp Visa holder, say a 457 4yr Visa, what are your options for;
A. Keeping the money?
B. Taking it back with you (whats left!!) to UK at end of your Temp Visa period?
C. Getting a perm visa to spend the bloody thing if B is not viable?
I am of course in La La land to think I could win $20 million but it never hurts to dream!!
