Congrats to winners. Btw, is the number at the bottom of the site slow to update?
As of now, showing 9,998,106 for me
OzBargain is coming up to another big milestone of 10,000,000 comments. You can see the current tally at the very bottom of every page in the footer and we are about ~82,062 comments away (as of posting).
Some Stats:
The 9,000,000th comment was on July 15, 2020. The 8,000,000th comment was on Nov 22, 2019. The 7,000,000th comment was on Feb 27, 2019. The 6,000,000th comment was on May 31, 2018.

From Scotty:
Do note that the stats at the bottom of the page — those include comments that have been unpublished or comments in the nodes that have been unpublished. To calculate the actual 10,000,000th comment that's displayed — that would be quite a work for the DB.
You were only 2 hours off on your guess as well!
Well done all.
The 10,000,000th comment has been made at 12:44pm today.
