A homeless man in New Zealand has remarkably won NZ$106,000 ($97,781.29 AUD) from a $5 bet on the Melbourne Cup.
The man from Wellington — who is only known by his first name Robert — placed the bet at the Petone Working Men’s Club the day before the race, not knowing that the small wager on the $8.4 million Cup, won by Without A Fight, would turn his life upside down.

Robert checked his account after the race, and had to look twice when he noticed five extra zeros next to his account balance.

I have been pretty close a few times, srsly.

But yeah did not end up cancelling the account.

I seriously thought about cancelling it a few weeks ago but then decided to just delete it from all my browser bookmarks and have a complete break and not even look at it for a fortnight.

If you do cancel it I think they will reinstate it anyway if you change your mind.

 

[Kram]

Fone still out, yeah could understand people that need it getting very, very pissed off by now.

 

[Kram]

Yeah Optus is back baby!


If only I had someone to call

 

[HomerThompson]

Ms Rowland added 000 calls can currently be made from Optus mobile phones but not landlines.

Wow 74 is correct.

What an absolute balls up. Some elderly do not have mobiles, I hope they dont need to call 000 today!

Overwhelming majority of the elderly who still have landlines are with Telstra. But still.

 

[Shell]
