just had the good news that we have had a win on the lottery, 5 numbers , so did a quick check and saw the winnings was 130,000, fecking mortgage and debt free,then on closer inspection saw that the winnings were for 5 and bonus. however still won 2500 so all not lost. still, for the few minutes that i thought all my financial woes were over,i cannot describe how great i felt. dunno wether to laugh or cry at moment,i know its 2500 i never had but being sooooo close to being so secure is a bit mind- boggling

Well done though, bit of an anti-climax but a win is a win - I'd be thankful for that too, enjoy it matey!

Never won a bean on the lottery, I stopped doing it about 2 years ago for that very reason. I cant say Ive won much, I think I won a bottle of Thunderbird wine at a school fate once but the teacher in charge of the stall wouldnt hand the prize over as I was under age. Begs the question why did she sell me the ticket anyway?. Well done on your win, shame it wasnt quite what you thought it was - but still it will come in handy.

Tried Thunderbird wine after i read it was the drink in the 50,s.. rough stuff - its a bit like the Whisky Mac and cheap sherry me ,n, my mates drank in the graveyard before going to gigs in the early 70,s.

Yes Thunderbird is pretty nasty and capable of stripping the enamel off yer teeth, me and my friends used too drink it in tribute too the song "Sweet gene vincent" as its mentioned before we used to go anywhere, the amount of times Ive been "unwell" at the end of a night because of that stuff!!!. P.S I have a soft spot for sherry, at Xmas when I was a teen, my and the mates used to drink a couple of bottles each of it on Xmas eve then go Busking in pubs, great times.

speaking of wine........ at work today I noticed a new bottle of wine called 'choco wine' it's actually chocolate wine. It looks like someone had poured milk chocolate in a wine bottle. Curios to see what it taste like........
