Lottery...almost risky.
Being sixteen and thus able to legally buy a Channel Islands lottery ticket for the Xmas top prize of £100,000 (we are talking 1990 ish so a respectable sum). Tickets are individually numbered, lady says "How many tickets, love?", "Erm...two please, no, make it one, I probably won't win anyway will I!" rsrd_jsy replies. Wait for the draw and guess what...seen it coming yet....I have the ticket before the winning one. Bloke behind me in the queue won the effing thing!

This is something
that I personally would never be able to let go of.

Reminds me of those stories
I've no idea if they're real or not, but you peridocally hear about them; a bloke has the same lottery numbers each week and then one week forgets to buy a ticket. He wins. So he shoots himself.

Definitely is a true story. Happened to me.

@Mime
You shot yourself? Just can't get anything right, eh?
