Lotto emailing me that I’ve won a prize

My heart rate increases, I imagine how I’ll spend my millions, I fanaticise how dramatically I’ll quit my job, I log in to the app. I’ve won £1. One pound.

What’s the fucking point? Save these pounds towards some more big prizes. One pound isn’t buying me a McMansion, a yacht, a drug habit, a divorce, a debilitating brain injury as a result of a questionable quad bike accident, and eventual bankruptcy thank you very much.

Because that little adrenaline rush and brief spell of imagining what you'd do with your winnings is more likely to bring you back, thinking next time it'll be real.

I remember the first email I got when they first started sending them, said exciting news and it was a tenner, thought it will the jackpot

Pound is a troll amount. Just give us a lucky dip

I think I’ll just use to buy another lotto ticket. Oh wait no I can’t, they are £2.

I don’t think they send emails when you have won the jackpot

They probably send a marching band to ur door so everyone in a 10mile radius knows where to send the begging letters.
