Tonight, the longest jackpot run in New Zealand Lottery's history will end.
 
It is the biggest Big Wednesday of all time.
 
If first division is not struck the $35 million will be shared out in the lower divisions.
 
The cash dwarfs the previous amount of $19 million, but as Ali Ikram found out the odds of winning it all are the same as tossing a coin 22 times and it landing on heads every time.
 
Could anyone rise to his challenge?
