Ok, I'm disappointed now. I was imagining some Nigerian in an internet cafe grinning stupidly when he sent the email.

Well bah humbug.
Here I was thinking that it'd come from Leicester. Something to do with those ever-increasing Tigers' season-ticket prices ...

But I'd still seriously love to hear more about this bridge opportunity of yours Lance!

Just for one ticket, but I only played once. I decided to quit while I was ahead.

I used to scorn lotteries. Opium of the people I used to say. They throw a bone on the exploited, poor, struggling hopeless people that make up the masses to give them an illusion, a shine of light and hope out of their misery. So status quo can be perpetuated. Now I do play also a little.

LOL

I play the scratch thingies sometimes. You scratch and you know if you won or not immediately. I'm too impatient for other kinds.

Was it the north west german lottery? a full ticket will only cost you 800 euros or so, and over 70% over the tickets win! Couldnt believe my eyes

My GF loves the scratch cards, I even get mucho brownie points for buying them for her as presents. She even won 1 pound the other day. I do have to bite my tongue every time she buys one and loses, because I win a pound every time I dont buy one
