Australian almost gave away winning scratch‑off ticket worth $240,000


A resident of Howar, Tasmania, Australia, won the top prize in the Live the Life lottery — 10,000 Australian dollars per month for 24 months, which totals 240,000 dollars.

He admitted that he almost gave his winning ticket to a friend, and noted that he usually does not buy scratch‑off tickets, but decided to try after winning $5 in a regular lottery.

The odds of winning the top prize in the Live the Life game are 1 in 750,000, and the ticket itself costs 5 Australian dollars.

  • Main prize: $10,000 per month for 24 months.
  • Second tier: $5,000 with odds of 1 in 1,000,000.
  • Third tier: $1,000 with odds of 1 in 600,000.
  • Lower tiers: prizes ranging from $500 to $5.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
