Why would you buy a lotto ticket for 4x the price in the first place? You
no good at math or something?

Off topic:
I tried to buy Bonus Bonds for god-children but were informed that I
have to have someone residing within NZ to do it for me! So it meant
sending $ to NZ and have someone take care of it for me.
IMHO, Bonus Bonds should be able to be purchased online for children
from anywhere including overseas. I think it is a good way to
start a form of saving for when they turn 18 and may want to go to
Uni.
I would most certainly pay a service charge for processing and
delivery.
