Many had their eyes on the prize as the Lotto dominated Twitter trends even before it was broadcast.

Tweeps took to the platform to share what they would do if they won that big.

While some said they would resign from their job instantly, some said they would keep a level head and go about their normal routines.

Here are some of the reactions.

It seems tweeps will have to keep the faith because the winner is apparently not one of them.
