I bought another Euromillions ticket for tonight’s draw. Nobody won it last week, so the jackpot today is supposed to be around £92million.

If I win, I want to become a member of that Abu Dhabi club who bought Manchester City. They seem to have quite a bit of money.

As there is a £70millon jackpot this week, I thought I would buy a ticket.

I know I won’t win and my money will probably go to a Frenchman, so I may as well have thrown £1.50 down the drain.

Hazzah! I won the lottery last night. After over two years of playing and winning absolutely fuck all, I am now finally with the elite.

I’m going to be keeping my feet firmly on the ground. I think I will stay in my job and best of all folks, I will be keeping Sparkster.net up and running – you can untie the rope from the loft hatch now, life is still worth living.

I haven’t made any plans on what to do the money yet. Part of me wants to spend it on things for my own enjoyment. Part of me wants to invest it. Mind you, there’s only so much interest that can be made from a tenner!

I couldn’t help but notice the news about the Euromillions lottery. As nobody has won it for a while the jackpot for next Friday has risen to £85million. This is a sickening amount of money which I think even greedy ManU defender Rio Ferdinand would have difficulty finding a use for.

I have never played this lottery before (my twice weekly play on the National is enough for me) but with the crazy amount of money at stake I thought it was worth a one off flutter. Kind of pointless really, as if I won £85mill on Friday, for someone like me it wouldn’t make a huge amount of difference to if I won £10mill on the National one. Either way I would be stinking rich.

Good luck to whoever enters and if I don’t win I hope an owner of some orphanage gets the money, either that or a extremely generous Leeds United fan who will give manager Kevin Blackwell the whole kitty to spend. :o) :o)

Bloody weather. I got a real soaking this afternoon after work. It was dry all day until 3 minutes till 5pm. In the short 10 minute walk from work to my house I was drenched – and I was under an umbrella for a lot of that time. I will expect an improvement in the weather for next week, which I have off work. I’m not going away on holiday this summer, although I am going to Leeds for a few days and to watch Leeds United play Huddersfield in the Carling Cup on Tuesday. I’m looking forward to that!

I’m still getting paranoid about spiders at night. Last night I thought I saw a shadow of a massive spider on my wall while I was half asleep. I got up, turned the big light on and searched for it. Then, after not finding one and regaining my thoughts I realised “How could I of seen a shadow of a spider, there weren’t any lights on!” I must have dreamt the whole thing!

Ladbrokes paid up for me again yesterday. I placed £10 on England to beat Ukraine in a friendly match. The England football team haven’t done too well in friendlies, but I thought players like Beckham and Owen, along with Sven the manager would have points to prove. Ladbrokes paid out £15 for my correct bet!

Something about the game that annoyed me. Alan Smith in the starting line up. Why is it that through all his years at Leeds he was (nearly always) overlooked for England and as soon as he goes to Man Utd he is capped! He’s only played 1 league game FFS, hardly enough to warrant a sudden change of heart by Sven. That’s the way it goes though. It’s not right.
