I used to play the lottery in a work syndicate. Once had £150 share of a prize, but probably spent more. In the years I haven't played it I must have saved a lot more. Of course there's a chance of winning, but you're more likely to be struck by lightning. Some places it gets crazy with $Billion prizes. That's enough to fuck up your life. A couple of million can buy you a house and all the cars you need. I'm not that aspirational when it comes to material goods.

As for Pot Noodles, I don't think I've ever had one. Now, Cuppa-soups are a different matter. I do like those, but it has to be Batchelors. Not that I would want a vault full of them. Each to their own...
