We’ve all been there.
There’s nothing worse than the cash countdown. Pay day is a full week away and you’ve already attacked your coin jar and went full Indiana Jones down the back of the couch. This is no time for pride!
If you’re sick of living from pay day to pay day, Multilotto.ie lets you enter the PowerBall lottery, which has a rollover jackpot of €387 million this Sunday. So the following pay week nightmares could soon be a thing of the past!
Your diet goes through changes
You start doing your best ‘Ready, Steady, Cook’ impression with anything you can find in your cupboard. Noodles, beans and cheap bread become your new best friends and you’d murder someone for a meat-based meal.
Something big comes up
This is the week when the universe inevitably screws you. Tickets for your favourite band are released, your best mate lands back from Australia, or all your mates sign up for a discount holiday offer that’s only available for 24 hours.
You start experimenting with discount beers
Hmm. A can of Grrkjnwkz is only 50c? How bad can it really be? You’ll get your answer in an hour when it feels like an alien is trying to dig its way out of your stomach.
Keep checking your online bank balance
It’s not going to change. No good Samaritan is going to throw a tenner into your account. And yet you still keep checking on the off chance.
Your budgeting skills improve exponentially
It’s like you unlock a mutant power for maths when you’re skint. You can suddenly make a tenner last a week even though your complete inability to budget is what got you here in the first place.
Jealousy
You develop a festering resentment to anyone who’s just going about their business as normal, eating nice food and not hating themselves for spending all of their wages. Some of those $*€Xers will probably have money left over at the end of the month.
You start rethinking your life choices
You analyse everything you spent money on in the last three weeks. You regret getting all those taxis, those takeaways come back to haunt you and the life-size statue of Chewbacca you bought is no longer looking like a clever investment.
Attack the bank machine the night before pay day
If your pay comes into your account at midnight, you’ve definitely wandered out to buy a 12.01am burger at least once. After a week of living on the breadline, nothing is sweeter than that first taste of burger-flavoured prosperity.
You promise that this will never happen again…
…And then you get paid and spend the night buying 12-year-old whiskeys for everyone in the pub before going home to order some magic beans on Amazon.
This week’s PowerBall jackpot is €387 million and it takes place in the early hours of Sunday. So one lucky Irish player could become the biggest jackpot winner in European history.
You can get your tickets here and you’ll get two tickets for the price of one (€3.50 in total) if you log on today. Multilotto.ie are licensed by the Irish National Excise License Office.
