This is a question Little Victories

I recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

I did this recently...
One morning I woke exactly at 4:44 - Thought, that must mean something.
The next day, I but random items in the staff shop, it comes to £1.47. I had exactly £1.47 in my hand, and it was all I had in change - Thought this must mean something.

Then watching Saturday's lottery "for a laugh" and the numbers 4, 7, 14, and 44 all come in. 4 numbers would probably have given me a couple of hundred, I'm not sure, as I'm not well up on the idiot tax scheme.

To be fair, I would not have broken 1.47 into 14 & 7, I would probably have chosen 1 and 47, but that's still a tenner missed out on.

Assuming you mean Saturday 22nd January, you would only have gotten three numbers (4 - 14 - 18 - 24 - 41 - 44 was the draw). Even if you had gotten an extra number (perhaps 41) then you would have gotten a grand total of £44, making a profit of £43 in total, a good return on investment but not anything worth crying over.

Or am I overthinking this?
