The South African Lotto is an estimated R45,000,000 in tonight's draw.

At the current dollar and SBD price that translates to almost 2.4 MILLION SBD.
This post owes a big shout out to Hive account@braaiboy who inspired this series of posts and graciously agreed for me to use his original idea for inspiration. Check out his posts and show him some love.

Here's the deal

To share in the (potential) spoils all you have to do is upvote (no minimum) this post and any winnings will be distributed equivalent to the ZAR equivalent of your vote weight compared to the cost of the ticket (2.13 SBD at the time of purchase for this particular ticket) by the cut off time (8:30pm SAST on 18 July 2018). What does that mean? Let's say your upvote is worth $0.213. That would entitle you to about 10% of the winnings which could be as much as 240,000 SBD. Think it's a long shot? Winnings to date are in excess of 80 SBD and now there's no minimum upvote requirement! Does it sound sweet? Yeah, you know it does. Money for nothing and your kicks for free.

Here's the ticket as purchased by me today for tonight's draw:

You will receive a note as soon as I receive the winnings and can convert it into SBD. I need a day or two to convert the ZAR to SBD and send you your sweet, sweet winnings.

Keep watching this space as the South African lottery plays four times a week and one upvote puts you in contention for some mad caps.

Legal crap

(Again, mad props to Hive account@braaiboy for thinking of all eventualities. Seriously guys, go check him out. His food creations look amazing and he's an awesome guy.)

• ZAR needs to be converted into crypto, so there will be exchange rates and fees involved. This means you can't just convert ZAR to USD to Steem and expect it to sync perfectly. We need to pay the piper along the way and market volatility will screw with us. Nothing I can do about this.

• There may be tax implications for large winnings. Any payouts you receive will be net of any applicable taxes on my side. Tax implications on your end are yours to worry (or not worry) about.

• No bot votes will be considered for payouts.

• I also reserve the right to add more legal crap to cover crap I didn't think about.

He's going to keep running his own version of the lottery, so why not double your chances for one more upvote?
