Lottery

It seems that we shall soon be able to purchase our lottery tickets within the village once more, this time at the SPAR. This will no doubt come as a relief to all those hoping that a sizeable win will enable them to escape the continuing downpours which seem set to be the only memories most will have of this summer. Like most, I have done the lottery on occasions, but my biggest win was £33.00 Hardly likely to get you a return fare to London on the train these days. My biggest win on the scratchcards was £17.00.

The best story about national lottery scratchcards I heard was when I lived elsewhere. There was only one £100,000 scratchcard left on sale in our local SPAR shop in Prestwick. It was purchased by a member of staff....who won £100,000.
