Lottery Winners

Hunt!

Oh how sweet , Hunt

Don't we all play the "game of how we would spend our winnings"? And the minimum we would "need" to give everybody enough (but not so much that it blighted their lives) and which charities would get how much - if we are not sound asleep by that time zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I was delighted to win £161.00 on Irish Lottery last month on a 25p stake my mid week gamble paid off that day

glamma Good for you...

I am in the fairly unique position of having 'won' some money on the lottery without even knowing that I'd entered. A few weeks ago one of my language students asked me to give her a number, which I duly did. The following week she told me I had given her a winning number for her lottery ticket and gave me a fourth share of her winnings; I received £2.20!

Seriously though, I do wonder why lottery winners opt for publicity after such big payouts; I worry for the unintended consequences for them.

Yes, I wonder, too. If they'd opted for no publicity they could have at least attempted to get their heads round it a bit before choosing who, if anyone, to tell.

grannyact...every little helps.

With two children marrying this year I'm reduced to old habits soop - have checked all pockets, down the back of the sofa, in all the drawers and old handbags.... every penny counts this year!
