We've been trying to find the perfect time to reveal that we've been playing the Australian Powerball and we actually won the lottery a couple of weeks back. The Australian government has "strongly" encouraged us to stay and spend the money "locally". They have extended our visas for now with the offer of citizenship down the road.
Let it be known that we are not coming back except for visits going forward. We know you will all understand.
Cheers, mates!
