you're up late watching the new Pirates Of The Carribean film, having a wee drink ... there's a £150 million Euromillions draw taken place and you get an email saying :

"We've got some news about your ticket from the draw on Friday 29 Sep 2017.

Please sign in to your account as soon as you can for more information.

Congratulations and thank you for playing. "


Only to find they close their site at night :mad:

    I didn't even know sites could open and close like that. What's the point of a website closing at night? Fingers crossed it's good or great news for you.

    Congratulations

    All your friends and family will want a share of your 20p, or you could go on a luxury 1 day holiday by bike to Paisley.

    Thanks to all the competition posters.

    If I went to Paisley I'd be another £500 out of pocket after I get mugged and someone steals my bike

    Not to worry, you'd find it again for £50 round about Ferguslie Park....and just think of all the happy joy you would have communing with the natives! (I work in Paisley BTW, but don't live there, not even in Ferguslie)

    Well, spent my winnings on a ticket for Saturday's Lotto and won a Lucky Dip for Wednesday so there's still a chance :)
