For my children to have happy lives.

A jackpot lottery ticket with sufficient winnings for me to retire now. Or at least enough for me to not be stressed out about money ever again.

A month-long all expenses paid holiday in a 5* hotel with a suite and a 24/7 nanny, somewhere with warm sunshine, turquoise sea and white sand, where I do not have to do anything or have any responsibilities at all.

Good health. Oh how I wish that could be fixed.

For my parents to survive long enough to see my children grow up.

To feel content always and hold that feeling inside forever and never go back to the dark places.

Every time I travel to my family it basically in involves huge amounts of waiting, in airports and inside airplanes and in vehicles, so yeah, to see my extended family or somewhere very attractive. I've done 20+ hours of waiting each way.

I'm going for "an end to adult violence against children."
Violence = deliberate physical harm.

Don't think "end to suffering" could be defined, is problem with hoping for that one.

So:

Teleportation machine

Kill the arseholes

Completely agree.

A weekend of amazing mind blowing sex, conversation, laughs and amazing food and wine with a fantastic person.

World peace is no good on its only though. You have to have justice and freedom too, otherwise the peace is worthless. Not sure if that was implied.

I agree with teleportation powers and kill all the arseholes. Just about it.

Yes, also for my children to be happy and healthy. Or for a million quid/ lottery win.

The ability to time travel and an invisibility cloak. The cloak would be good for hiding from the dinosaurs once I get back to the stone age and take a stroll around.

A winning lottery ticket.

@RichardMarxisinnocent try the postal ballot which usually starts in November.
No quueing required

I do enter the public ballot, and the LTA ballot, I've entered both every year since 1996 and only been successful a couple of times, so most years if I want to go I need to queue. That said, I do enjoy the whole queue experience, and I do it with my oldest friend, who I don't see very often, so we always have a lovely time lazing around outside our tent catching up.
