    Got 5 numbers on the Daily Million won €500 delighted as I was broke
    but I keep thinking just one more number and life now would be easier though not happier I'm not that lucky.

    Money won't make you happy but you can use it to make your enemies sadder which will give you a small amount of joy.

    My mother had 5 numbers in the lotto two weeks in a row! She got couple of grand each time.

    It was like karma because week before our dog ran into road was killed by a car and she had to pay 4k damge repair costs to the car owner.

    In UK a few years ago I spontaneously put £10 on a 25 to 1 horse in the Grand National.

    I was driving a double decker bus full of people in Northampton when the race came over the radio and I was so excited that I had to stop the bus between bus stops when my horse pulled out in front and actually won.

    Very handy. We needed a new washing machine :)
