Obscene prize
I agree wholeheartedly with Russell McKenzie (Letters, Oct 26). That the $42 million Lotto pool has been paid out to one ticket is obscene. Especially given that low-income families are the largest contributors to this bonanza.
Lotto desperately needs to be recalibrated.
No prize should exceed $5m Above that, the prize pool money should be shared among a greater number of ticketholders.
As it stands, the distribution reflects the current inequalities in society, where a tiny minority captures the wealth generated by the whole community. Susan Wauchop, Ilam
