Just won the lottery! I COULD CRY!!

[confusedlady10]

Just thought I'd scratch off a £2 card to get a pound for the trolley (no cash back anymore ???), and I've won £5. The doors have opened up for me now. Brainstorming what to spend it on!😆

😂😂😂

Oh ffs I was ready to cry happy tears.... please tell me you had like 1p in your bank and that £5 fed you and the family for a week!!!

Spend it all!!, you can't take it with you haha love it 😂

Surely OP is entitled to spend her hard earned money on what she wants. I do give to food banks BTW.

🤣🤣🥂🎈

Is what someone with no sense of humour would say.

I'd buy a tin of salmon with a good sell by date. The rate prices are going up, it'll easily rival the value of a civil service pension pot in the future 😁

Or someone with a sense of humour for things that are actually funny, and not cliched and tedious like this.

Put the heating on for 10 mins.

I would buy chocolate.

How I miss the laughing emoji!

Comhghairdeas on your win dream big!! I've never won anything on a scratch card, I used to get those big ones for my Birthday BUTmy friend won €10,000 last month on some raffle thing on FB.. of course I was incredible sceptical & thought I'll believe that when I see it but low & behold the money was in his account & he went off to Ibiza for the closing parties, his dad took 4,000 of hit because he's useless with money & needs a few things done in his house 😆

Hillarious I saw that beautiful house 🏠 on mumsnet not in reality!

Id be happy to swap £2 for £5 somethings better than nothing after all....

I hate these threads because each time I get so excited, thinking someone has had life changing news. Don’t let the money change you OP.

I couldn’t afford an ancestry DNA kit so I announced that I had won the lottery and I quickly found out who my relatives were.....

Remember the folk you left behind!

Don’t forget where you came from! 😂

In all seriousness I've heard that it's the people who can least afford these things that buy them the most.

Maybe hide the thread, if it's upsetting you

That's Christmas sorted!

How much do yawns cost?

My only advice is be careful who you tell. It won't take long for the begging letters and sob stories to start. Beware of those that suddenly want to be your friend.

I had a win on the lottery. I went to the newsagent where I got the ticket from to claim my winnings. I had quite a queue behind me. The chap said they didn’t hold that much cash in their till and I would have to go elsewhere. There was a lot of interest from the queue behind me. For my own safety I disclosed the amount of my win to the people in the shop. I did not want to be mugged on the way out for the princely sum of £70!

Don;t tell anyone - the begging letters will be flooding in. (what's your address btw)

Aw, I was hoping it would be a decent amount. I like seeing good news threads.

There has been a thread on here from someone who won a million, and another who won £10k each month for a year.

A fiver though. Don't let it change you. Enjoy your £3 "profit" 😁
