Yes. Add a dummy series:
a 80000
e 80000
Add this as an extra series to the graph (easiest way is to copy the data
range above & paste special into the graph).

Similarly for 50000

So you'll need to change the extra series to an XY chart, and may need to
stretch the data to cover the whole width of the graph.
