More than a bit miffed really. (For those who don’t know the word click here) I do the National Lottery online. That is to say, I have an online account and I buy my tickets that way. So I never actually have a physical ticket as I find this way easier. If I win, then I get emailed and I log in to my account to see the prize. For some bizarre reason, I had a go at the Euro-Millions draw (I usually do the Thunderball draw which is the cheapest!)
This morning, I got the email that announced “… got some news about your ticket …” which is their way of saying “You’ve won!!!” I quickly logged in to my account, to see that I had won a grand total of £2.60 on my ticket. Now when you consider, that the ticket actually cost me £2.50, I had actually won 10p. This was for predicting 2 correct numbers so you may be able to see why I was a “little bit miffed”.
It doesn’t seem much, does it? At least you don’t owe them anything if you don’t get a single number…
My mama (= grandma) once won 6d on the football pools and was equally disappointed. She framed the cheque instead of cashing it.
