Popped to the newsagents ths morning to pick up a paper and as I had a spare 2 quid thought I'd buy a lottery scratch card. I haven't bought a lottery ticket since 1997 but thought why not. Basically match three numbers to win that amount. Turns out that the amount was £20,000!!!
Pretty pleased really as I had a mountain of debt stacking up and I can pay it all off now and leave about £10,000 to do with as I please. Today is a good day.
Enjoy your winnings
Nice!
DrP
Sweet 🙂 Make sure you buy something useful with the 10k, like a dog with three tails or something like that.
lend us 20 quid mate? 🙂
what are you doing with the 10k?
Wow! Wish I had your luck, I must have spent £1000+ on lotto tickets! Enjoy!
Pretty pleased really
Nice understatement.
Congratulations 😀
New bike time surely!? 😀
I have a Nigerian uncle thats having some real trouble moving some gold out of the country and just needs some investment capital ! nah lucky bugger enjoy it.
Fantastic, do something useful with the 10 grand
Nice one 🙂
Sweet.
I don't know what I'll do with the 10k. It hasn't entirely sunk in really. like most people I've never really won anything before so it's weird to think I'm just going to be given 20 grand for nothing. The most money I've ever had.
I'll have to treat the wife and I to something.
Result! Good karma 🙂
So how do you get your money?
For smaller amounts obviously you can just claim it in the newsagents.
I guess you have to phone up and then not leave the house or sleep until the ticket can be verified, and they give you a cheque or balance transfer?
I've heard that there are some fake scratchcards doing the rounds that, when you rub the panels off you *appear* to have won £20k.
If you send it to me I can examine it to see if it is genuine or not...
😉
Nice one... pay of the debt and enjoy the rest. Happy for you.
That's awesome, congrats!
great stuff, it's nice to see a topic that don't involve a rant or mass argument!
Give it time geordiemick, give it time. 🙂
Sounds like n+1 time. Repeat until skint. Congrats. 🙂
Congratulations you jammy git 😀
My sister won £75k back in 98. Changed her life quite a bit tbh. And mine because I sold her my business!
9k on booze, drugs and hookers. You could then waste the rest. 😉
Congratulations - I have no envy whatsoever....
Now excuse me whilst I go and cry into a pint 😉
Enjoy it!
Nice one.
I'll bet that card hasnt left your hand / line of sight all day.
Nice!
Good stuff, enjoy that debt free feeling of lighter shoulders. I should be there with 7/8 months. Looking forward to it.
In the mean time, can I interest you in some magic beans?
Great to hear that good things still happen to those that deserve it!
Now keep your fingers crossed for me, I'm off to buy a scratch card! 😉
Congrats.
I win on the lottery every single time it's drawn, crept the days I buy a ticket...then I always lose!!
Nice one 😀
top stuff 🙂
though, if you got yourself 10k in debt it might be worth setting aside a good chunk of the remaining 10k to make sure it doesn't happen again...
Whatever you do, get rid of that debt on Monday or now O.P!
Save your money for a rainy day.
Sweet.
Solvency has a lot to commend it!
Withdraw it all in £1 coins, stack it in you lounge and just stroke it. 😀
Wow that's quality! Enjoy
Congrats!
Thanks all. Absolutely chuffed now it's sunk in. The debt incidentally was due to life changing surgery overseas for my mum so wasn't being frivolous or careless with money.
After paying it off I'm going to treat the wife and I to a holiday. Haven't had one in 3 years. Ticket has to be verified and then you are sent a cheque for 20 thousand pounds.

Mostly that, TBH at the moment investing is shite unless your in it for the long game so any debts you have get rid of and don't go wild just because you have a bit now. Financial stability is a very calming thing.
Wahay.....a nice post on stw....well done, i bet it's a fantastic feeling to now say "I'm debt free, with cash to spare"
For gods sake don't put the scratchcard somewhere safe.....everytime i put something of value somewhere safe i can never remember where i hid it nor find it again.
Brilliant news - glad you can clear your debt, which was an amazing thing to do btw. Karma does work!
Now if only had your luck
Congrats in deed.
wow, amazing!! you lucky thing. Enjoy it.Best I ever did on the lottery was about £20!! LOL
who says karma doesn't exist 🙂
that's awesome news 🙂
i bet you're still sat with a big grin on your face! 🙂
