Similar to GG, but I know a “mate” (not a great friend, infact truth be known a bit of a t/wat), he won £36,000 on a scratch card.
sp.unked the lot, but gave his mum enough to get a headstone for his dad’s grave.
He is a gambler though… always in the bookies, and I agree with PB, you really are better of sticking a couple of quid in a bottle and watch it grow.
