    Hearing other people win is becoming torturous and soul destroying. But will I keep entering every day? Hell yeah. It’s become an addiction over the past five years, even though I often feel hopeless doing it. 


    Man, that money would solve a lot of problems. Give me a whole new lease of life. A real chance of finding happiness before God decides my time is up. Whenever that will be. 


    Life is so short to feel unfulfilled, restricted and be in constant survival mode. Many fear dying, but what terrifies me the most is taking my dreams to the grave.


    I don’t mean to be morbid. I’m just thinking out loud. Can anyone relate? 


    I get a little introspective and deep at this time of year, when another birthday rolls around fast again, and I realise I feel just as unhappy as I was on the last one. Despite working so hard everyday to change my life. It sucks that hard work doesn’t always necessarily guarantee success. I think luck plays a massive part. 


    This post will most likely get reported and deleted. But heck, to hell with it.

    This song came to mind in reaction to your post - and this is a 'chat' post after all

    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!


    When you talk down to others it says more about you than them.

    Don’t get too hung up on thinking it’ll be you, even if the odds were just 200,000 to 1 you’d have to enter every day for around 800 years to win. lol. Worth it for the “what if” dream 😁
    While I agree that winning this shouldn't be your only plan, that's not how the odds work! You could win today, you could never win, or you could win somewhere in between that.
    Thanks to all who post competitions.

    Best wins: Dickinson's Real Deal, Glastonbury, Route Du Rock, tiny Suede gig

    Ohh I see, I thought everyone who has won so far must have played for at least 800 years. Silly me. 😉
    You can't always get what you want... but if you try sometimes, well, you just might find.. you get what you need.
