How lucky are you?

A pair of mushroom suede slouch boots from Hotter.

Three bottles of wine which we won at the rugby club before lockdown. We won forty pounds after the lockdown at the club very pleased both times it’s nice to win something.

Never anything massive, but a fair few smaller things over the years and I certainly do consider myself to be a very lucky person. I truly don’t think I’m the sort of person to land a big one though, I just don’t think that’s me.

What not be feel happy and lucky about?

I’ve been entering competitions for a few years. Biggest wins have been a couple of £500 worth of clothing and once £500 cash. I do find that wins seem to come in 3s. I’ve recently won £2000 on the local hospice lottery (which I had forgotten I was still paying into!) and today I got an email saying I’d won a linen bread bag in a magazine competition. I’m holding my breath in anticipation of win no 3.

Well said Puzzled. I’ve been very lucky in the same way, though recent news is less fortunate. That has increased my awareness of the need to count blessings in the ordinary. Winning the lottery wouldn’t change what many of us face
