I won £28 at bingo tonight and I am thrilled to bits, It just meant that my night out didn't cost me anything. Although it is a small amount it was very exciting when my last number was called. Has anyone won anything more substantial....a car...a holiday or even the lottery.
Our fridge freezer packed a couple of weeks ago and after trudging round the sheds found one that would do the job. But being the sap, sorry wonderful husband I am I suggested we could have the one she really wanted. Went into work the following Monday and found we had won the office lottery to the tune of the extra £85 quid we paid for the fridge.
sadly, I seem to be quite unlucky!......only thing I ever won was a budgie, yes a budgie!.........in the school raffle about 50 years ago!.....not that good, cost more than the bird was worth to buy the cage etc.......it didn't do a thing, wouldn't talk!..........had it for many years............wasn't very impressed with it though!......
I've never won anything substantial but I know one person who won £10,000 in the football pools, years ago, and one who was part of a syndicate who won a large amount in the lottery. Proof that it does happen sometimes to people you know.
I won energy improvements including washing machine and condensing boiler etc to value of five thousand pounds with southern electricity about fifteen years ago.
starbuckone, yes true, a friend of mine won the lottery, he was in a syndicate with his family, they all got a million pounds each, he's such a nice guy!.very grounded and stillm lives locally and stays friends with the friends he has had for years!.......
Jemisa, I had some bonds but cashed them in coz I won nowt.
sir.prize, hope your trip was good.
Sagz, $289 is far better than my measly £28.
sandyRoe, £3000 on the horses, I know where you're coming from, my first husband was a betting man, won and lost thousands in his time.
vodkancoike, that's a good lottery win, I've only ever won an odd tenner.
Captain Kirk, You were meant to have that fridge, fate made sure of that.
