Do any of you know really lucky people:
I do. There are a few pople I know who always seem to be winning something. If they go to Bingo (even the thought of winning couldn't entice me to go: would need to be a cast iron guarantee), they always seem to win. If there's a raffle: they win. They win trips, goods and money but few of them are particularly nice or…

Giving prizes away...
After just writing my last post 'On a winning streak!!' I was just wondering if any MSE's have given away their prizes before to people who appreciated it more than they themselves would have done.
