Good Luck!

The winner of last week’s £113 millions Euro Lottery has now come forward, has had the claim verified and been paid out.

The person, who so far has remained anonymous, has instantly become one of the richest folk in Britain and good luck to him or her is what I say!

It is curious though that over 1,000 other people came forward to claim the prize. Have these not attempted a fraud on Camelot?

If Only ...

.
One lucky UK ticket-holder of the Euromillions lottery has just scooped £26.1 millions, an unimaginable amount of money.

My sister and I have often discussed what we would do if we were lucky enough to win such a sum, and our idea would be to create a charitable trust from which we could donate money to worthwhile causes.

We get some interest from discussing which causes might benefit from such a Trust. Of course, we would donate to the relief of the people of Haiti, and I would like to do something for the Dogs Trust who are always under pressure of funds. I would also like to do something for the Benedictine monks of St. Augustine’s Abbey in Ramsgate, Kent, who are unable to afford the upkeep of their abbey and, absent a benefactor, are looking to sell their abbey and relocate to a place that is less expensive to maintain.

Alas, this is sheer speculation for we haven’t won a lottery prize. Yet!
