    LOL hertzyabazas.....Im there with a "id share with my kids and maybe my hubby comment", i must look like the most heartless woman ever next to those comments.

    That's the best answer of the lot. No bells, whistles or bullpoo. And it's honest (not saying that some of them aren't, but :eek::whistle:)

    Not sure if this one is serious! Loads of mega sob stories on here
    Statue of Liberty. We had the money saved up for a Xmas trip but my 75 year old brother in law has found love in Kenya with a bar girl aged 25 and she has a family who need money for all there illnesses.My brother in law has supported her and has no money left so we had to bale him out so hence we won't be going to the Big Apple but at least all those Kenyans will be happy and healed.

    That's a beauty :rotfl:
    There are a couple of dozies on there, although I don't know what a picture of a cat and dog have to do with anything.
    Apparently there is one written by someone with the first name initial of 'Z', that even one of the FB posters has said that everybody should read. I can't find it though. When I get a bit more time, I'll have a look for it - unless one of you has seen it already. Even some of the other folk entering have said it's getting pathetic. We've all been saying it for ages :rotfl:

    That comments thread is hilarious, there's now people taking the mick via a re-enactment of the Four Yorkshiremen sketch :rotfl:

    Also posted:
    one of us?

    "( sorry I don't have a sob story to write , well I have a sob story I'm just not gonna write it.... I feel like it's the X factor auditions on here ) amazing prize fingers crossed!"

    "I think most of us have a sob story, but they only want an answer to the question."

    "The Statue of Liberty - oh, hey are we submitting sob stories for this?, 'ang on a sec......where's it gone....ah, here we go....OMG, OMG this would be amazing to win and just at the right time since I just recently died from being hit by a meteorite, my little dog was tragically abducted by aliens and is now just a head in a jar on Alpha Centauri, and my house was eaten alive by bol weevils. My homeless family who are all suffering from wasting terminal illnesses would really be cheered up until, of course, the End of the World which will happen two weeks after the end of this competition."

    not sure if serious or....
    "If I won, don't tell my cat please! He'll expect some sort of crazy and outlandish cat bed for Christmas!! (He acts like such a diva!) " + picture of cat with photoshopped crown.

    "People are thinking it's a trip to New York lol looking at some of the comments.
    It's vouchers...."
    ^ also this
    eta: somebody wants the non existent holiday changed because they're too ill to travel

    and a serious anti sob story comment "How can i possibly have a sob story when there is so much bad stuff going on in the world. I count myself lucky I have good health, a lovely family, food to eat and a warm home."

    eta: "Statue of liberty. Thats all, too poor to be able to keep using my worn out finger to keep typing through the tears. Maybe I could get a new fingers or a bigger pack of tissues."

    "I hope I won because I had my hair cut as a baby and it has mentally scared me since! Life is so cruel and it will make my Christmas better"

    "I'm sorry but I don't have a sob story, does this make me ineligible to enter ?"
    "Sorry no sad begging story to back this...here's a small violin thou for some of these"
    "no sob story ... no hang on ... I don't have one .... that's my sob story "

    Just been telling Mr dontone about the Lotto comp, and how people are posting thinking it's for a holiday & not vouchers.
    He's just said that some folk are so quick to write begging/sob stories, it's like they don't even read what the actual prize is.
    He's got a point.
