Unexpected Good FortuneTravelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

Annoyingly lucky.About 6 or 7 years ago I was looking through a Daewoo showroom to kill some time and entered some competition which i promptly forgot about.
I was reminded when I got a letter saying I had won the oppertunity to buy a brand new Matiz for £5.
It was silver and very nice, but I traded it in a few weeks later for an Astra Sport.
A couple of months ago I inherited a 2 year old, incredibly low mileage Toyota Corrola from an elderly relative, which I sold.
When I go to the local cinema, its an unusual event if I DONT find money in the carpark. The haul ranges from a minimum of £2 to a £20 note once.
When lottery scratchcards first came out, I went through a very lucky phase and profited by about £250 in a few weeks.
I have had plenty more jammy experiences, but always end up skint in the end. Karma?
oh, and I know of a guy who got 5 balls plus the bonus and won 250k on the lottery one week.
He then won the 3 million jackpot 2 weeks later. Bastard.
