I Fail at Win

[andrewducker]

Waking up to an email from the national lottery telling you to check your account: Exciting!
Logging in to find that you've won a tenner: Somewhat less exciting!

I set up a subscription _ages_ ago, and 99% of the time I forget I even play the thing (I don't even know what my numbers are), but it potters away in the background anyway. It strikes me as the only sensible way to play (if you're going to).

I do that whenever I get an email. My mind starts spending the money before I've even checked what I've won. Currently, its a spending spree at debenhams - I was there yesterday and they have all their nice christmassy clothes in.

I had, of course, already drafted my resignation letter before I got as far as checking the amount :->
