Re: Lucky or Not?
 
I am lucky with my life but not with material things. I once won a turkey in a Christmas raffle at work. It was a monster, I had to shoehorn it into the oven to cook it. The only thing was that my family were all vegetarian apart from me and my mum. I gave my mum half of it and me, my lodger and the cat lived off the rest of it until Easter. :D

Sadly, I have never won cash............. I hope that means that it must be my turn soon :cool:

I have had my lucky spells, which lasted a few months
About 10 years ago I won £1,000 at Gala Burnley and a few months later, won £9,500 at Skinners Bingo Accrington.
Last year, for about 6 months, I won at bingo so often (but not huge sums) that I didn't draw any spending money out the bank for those 6 months, yet played bingo 3 or 4 times a week.

I haven't been lucky in love :(

I don't consider myself lucky with winning money or material things, but I am lucky in that I am healthy, mobile, have a roof over my head, food to eat and don't owe anyone anything......that must count for something.

Absolutely. Very lucky.

There have been a few times in my life when I've been down to my last £ or needed to buy something big for whatever reason and that's when I've had tax rebates or something similar.

I'm never lucky if I don't actually need it though so don't do the lottery though.

I don't do the lottery, in fact I am the kiss of death to it.....If I just touch the ticket you can kiss a win goodbye.
Recently I was in Brighton with my Mum...she asked me to get her two lucky dips for the wednesday, two for the Saturday and two one pound scratchies.

I told her that she wouldn't win anything with me getting them for her...and I told her that I would eat my gusset if she won anything on the scratchie.

Ma did the scratchie and then asked me to tell her if she had won anything...like I would know!
I looked at it and could make moss nor sand of the thing and said I didn't think it was a winner...anyway while we were having lunch she sat perusing the thing and it turned out she had won a tenner...the chap in the shop wanted to know how I was going to have my gusset cooked.....I told him 'Flamed in brandy, until it is crisp, the ashes then put into a glass of brandy and coke and I would swig it down'....did I do it?......er, ye...NO, of course I didn't.
