I didn’t win the lottery. It buoys me somewhat that no one did, however this means I will have to buy another ticket this week and go through the whole process again. For the last three months or so, I’ve been volunteering to design and update a website for a friend. I’ve spent days on this website, making the different sections, writing the content from the information I’m given, and sorting out all the pictures.

Last week, I saw that the Euro Millions Lottery had a jackpot of £85 million. This amount of money is beyond my comprehension, but it sounded like fun and I was tempted to buy a ticket. I didn’t. This week, the jackpot rolled over again and is now up to £100 million pounds. This time, I thought a ticket might be worthwhile. So, I bought my ticket, chose my numbers and now sit and wait for the draw.

I have recently finished reading the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? book. It was a memoir from Chris Tarrant about all the contestants that meant something special to him. It made me sick. All those people earning thousands just for answering a couple of questions correctly. Who wouldn’t love £500,000 for a half hours work? But if I went on there, you can guarantee the questions would be horrible and I would struggle to get to £1,000.
