Just got a mail confirming I scooped the national lottery last night..
Not a scam, I really have done it :) and top prize too

Ok, so it is a little one run by a metal detectorist group using the drawn numbers, but it got me the top prize of a book about the history of Glastonbury Abbey.. chuffed to say the least ! :beer-toast1:

You lied then. It was not the national lottery! :p Pity you hadn't used the numbers on the real thing. 45 million to one against winning that. Anyone still do it?

Yup, dd set up, looks after itself. I had a decent size win years ago, would seem ungrateful if I stopped.

Nope .. if I won a lot of money I would have no idea what to do with it without ending up in trouble:)
But I know JUST what to do with the book!!
