I know my chances are slim and don't legitimately think I will actually win the big prize but it's fun to start spending my winnings in my head.
My cousin and I even agreed to give each other $1m if one of us won the $50m.
Kiwis, it seems, didn't want to miss the opportunity to be in to win either as New Zealand Lotto confirmed they had sold the most tickets yet for Saturday night's draw - about half online - causing major disruptions in the processing of the tickets.
They've since revealed an upgrade to their MyLotto website and app will be ready by early 2021. They also apologised for the massive delays people faced to check their tickets online.
Unnecessary apology if you ask me.
Some may have been frustrated at the delay, but I was all for it because it meant there'd be a delay to learn there actually wouldn't be an extra casual $5m added to my bank account any time soon.
It meant I could continue to spend my virtual winnings in my head because, in reality, my budget is just a tad (a lot) smaller.
Overnight Monday I was able to check my ticket to confirm the inevitable: I was a winner. Of two extra tickets, that is, which means I guess my Lotto playing continues this week.
Once those are gone though, it won't be until the next big jackpot that I suck myself into playing because my FOMO will get the better of me. And I'm okay with that ... and I'm okay with a delay in finding out the results.
