A friend got third division which was a "shitty" $3700. There's so much gap between the divisions! This draw was such a load of shit, you couldn't have paid me to enter it and sit there watching the TV like half the nation did. It was no different to any other draw!

UPDATE 9.50am: A COUPLE sharing a monster $106 million Lotto jackpot with a blue collar battler are back at work today despite their massive win.

They are first-time Oz Lotto players from the Gold Coast.

They are sharing the massive prize jackpot with an Adelaide battler, who has been trying for a big win for 20 years.

The ticket holders are now $53 million richer, after winning a share of Australia's biggest ever lotto draw.

The middle-aged couple from the Gold Coast, the South Australian man in his 40s were the only winners in the Oz Lotto $106 million first division prize drawn last night.

The couple, who – not surprisingly - wanted to remain anonymous, bought a ticket from Lucky Mermaid News on the Gold Coast while the man reportedly purchased his winning ticket at a cafe at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Adelaide.

"I'm numb and quite frankly I have no idea how I'm ever going to sleep again,'' the man from the blue collar Adelaide western suburbs told SA Lotteries.

"I never expected to win and certainly never expected to win more than $50 million.''

He said he would share his prize with family members and charities.

Golden Casket Lottery spokeswoman Karen Anning said it was the Gold Coast couple's first time playing Oz Lotto despite having played in other lotteries.

Lucky Mermaid News owner June Neilson says it's also the first time the agency has sold a first division winning ticket.

"I don't know if we'll get to meet them but I'm really happy for them,'' Ms Neilson said.

Despite their riches, the couple are going to work today.

"It is business as usual for them today. They are going to work,'' Ms Anning said.

"They said they had to check their numbers multiple times last night.

"When they got the call this morning solidifying their winnings, they said `I was hoping to hear from you this morning'.''

She said the couple were in the throes of deciding what to do with their new-found wealth.

"They want to help out family and donate money to some charities,'' Ms Anning said.

Another 60 people will each get more than $33,000 from the second division pool.

The Tuesday night jackpot draw originally set for $90 million was pushed up by a surge of late entries, taking the first division prize to just over $106.5 million and the total prize pool to $177.4 million.

The lucky trio have shared Australia's biggest ever lotto.

After 10 million tickets were sold - three million in Victoria alone - it was revealed last night there were just two winning tickets.

The monster prizes are the biggest individual Australian lotto wins, topping last year's $58.7 million Powerball prize shared by four Victorians.

While the top prize appears to have gone interstate, more than 1.1 million Victorians will walk away with something from the historic Oz Lotto draw.

Twenty-one Victorian ticketholders will get $33,468.25 as second division winners.

Unprecedented demand for tickets saw the first division prize pool top more than $106 million, smashing the expected $90 million jackpot.

Tattersall's spokeswoman Karen Anning last night said Oz Lotto fever had pushed the prize pool sky-high to a final figure of $106,548,562.15.

"The past couple of weeks have been absolutely phenomenal," she told the Herald Sun. "The interest around Australia has been absolutely unbelievable.

"To have finally drawn the prize is just sensational.

"We had never seen anything like it before and it is unlikely we will see it again for a very long time."

Last night's draw was the finale of a week of Oz Lotto mania.

Channel 7 interrupted regular programming to broadcast the draw.

Yesterday, millions of people flocked to lotto outlets to snap up their tickets. Tattersall's processed some 200,000 tickets an hour across Victoria between 3pm and 5pm.

The Tatts website shut down as millions tried to log on in a last-ditch attempt to buy a winning ticket.

Then the site went into meltdown again last night as millions tried to check the winning numbers.

Tattersall's will provide the new instant millionaires with a network of support services to assist them with the win.

"Maintaining their privacy and respecting their wishes is the primary concern and objective for us," Ms Anning said. "We will provide information and a list of services they can tap into to help them through this emotional time."

She said the winners would be able to collect their prize in about a fortnight.

This is wierd, since I bought a lottery ticket on my 15th birthday I've never lost any money on the lottery. granted I never play the shit, but every time I do I win something, usually something insignificant anyways.

The form of the text that the Italian pharmacologist is writing on his laptop is inconsistent between the close-up shots and the longer-distance ones: the laptop is a Windows machine, and the longer-distance show the Windows operating system, but the close-ups are of the modern Macintosh operating system.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
