Rob1981,
I have checked the past numbers for Africa and I think the highest numbers to come up were in the 45,000-46,000. I can almost guarantee that your number is not going to come up with AOS. What country if you don't mind me asking? My wife won one and she is 23XXX. And we are no even sure AOS will work, but we are still going for it because we don't want to go home because of work and children.
Check the past history somebody posted it:
