(won not one... did you notice? ) Apparantly i'm through to stage 2 of their prize draw, and even been given VIP status, and could win up to £250,000. WOW . Does anyone ever win? And what do they gain from us by sending this junk out? Should i bother returning my numbers to go into the draw? I normally put these things straight into the bin.

Thumbs up

Well, I've made it through the first 10 stages each and every year since records began .... wowie, I get soooooooo excited at this time of the year when I feel so special.

Do I spend 5 hours of my life taking a gold key and sticking it on a sticky thing and then wading through the bumph to find my lucky numbers and sticking those, in the right order, to the correctly initialed boxes?

Do I FVCK!!

Oh forgot to mention i also get through to the last round and receive my "lucky numbers" which i need to send back straight away to qualify for a special bonus for Which magazine and Time magazine.
Again without entering why don't they save themselves all the aggro for ***** sake theyv'e already entered me in and drawn my name out without my knowledge why don't they just enter me in the final round and send me the dosh if i won, or better still just send me 100 grand save them a hell of a lot of arseing about.

I always used to bin these without opening them until I read in the local paper that a near neighbour had won £250,000.

Rich b@stard didn't even notice the money, said he would use it for furnishings for his new house.

Agreed, why don't they just give the money at random to a good cause, like me?

I understand that they bin all the 'no' envelopes so you need to send in a 'yes' envelope to be in with a chance anyway.
