The James Edwards Story
I sat in my bed preparing for another boring day at work and generally being depressed about my favourite team, Bournemouth's last game. I put on my shoes and stumbled out of the house and down the road towards work. I picked up a mars bar, a bottle of coke and the latest issue of Zoo. I looked up as i walked past the newsagents - EURO MILLIONS JACKPOT – 77 MILION POUNDS! I walked into the shop, picked up a mars bar and a copy of Zoo. I walked over the counter and decided to play the lottery for the first time in my life.
I thought, why not? What can I lose? I picked numbers at random as I knew I wasn’t going to win regardless. 4, 8, 23, 42, 35, 7, 3. I paid the feller at the counter and made my way home.
When I got home I thought of what I would do with the money if I won it, the thing that all people do when they play the lottery. I flicked on the TV, opened up my Mars, my bottle of Coke and my Zoo magazine. Before I knew it the Euro Millions was on and they were preparing to draw the numbers.
“The first number is… 23…”
One of mine. So what, it’s only 1. 6 more to go…
