Massive Lottery Win*

*For a given definition of massive.

I had four numbers come up on the draw last night. If only Wednesday’s draw had been combined with yesterday’s draw I’d have hit the jackpot. Never mind. Anyway the total prize amount is a slightly disappointing £68 (especially as I checked the Wednesday draw and those 4 ball winners got £85)… but it’s better than nowt and is my biggest win to date.

From a £20 set of bets I got back £58.33 mmm nice. And hopefully the £20 I put down originally will be free thanks to topcashback.

comply-win-400This year my money is on:
- Butler’s Cabin
- My Will
- Comply Or Die

in that order. I’ve put place bets on 0nly so if any or all get a place, I’ll win but not a massive amount. Still, it’s the taking part that counts :) I’ll report back after the 16:15 race at Aintree has finished.

I've won the lottery!

Well… only a tenner anyway but in my 6th week of playing it’s not a bad total at the moment.

Gone to the dogs

We had a nice evening at Hall Green Stadium last night taking part in a bit of gambling malarky. It was to celebrate Vicky’s friend Marie’s 30th birthday and was a great success. I put all the bets on and Vicky took the winnings… I’m sure I must have been doing something wrong there.

Before that I had a joint birthday meal at my parents… joint with my little/bigger brother and am now fully stocked up on clothes for the next few years. I’ve kind of become accustomed to this time of year as an opportunity to refresh my clothing to whatever my brother / sister / parents advise me are in fashion now. I’m looking forward to testing out my wifi detecting t-shirt in various locations now as well… my sister assures me people will not point and stare at the bright blue flashing lights on the front of it. Now I just need to find motivation and a gap in the rain to wash the car.
