Well, I didn't hit the jackpot but I did win £4.80 last night!

I feel I'm just getting warmed up now...  ;D

Are you going to take the lump sum or do installments?  ::) I won £47 off £10 of scratchers last week and walked around like Midas for a week. I don't know what I'd do if I won millions (or at least hundreds of thousands!).

I miss a lot of the places already mentioned - Taco Bell, Chick Fil A, Pei Wei, but mostly I miss the VARIETY of restaurants in the US and also how easy they are to find/get to. It takes minimally 20 minutes just to get to Nando's from our house here. We do have a good American BBQ place just down the road though (stumbling distance from our house) and that helps quench the homesickness from time to time.

Lump sum. Definitely.

I would pretty quickly move the money to my husbands bank account methinks...

"We" play a set of numbers for each draw by direct debit.  By "we", I mean my husband from his own personal bank account.  I'll just have to hope he gives me an allowance if he strikes it rich!   ;D

We must have hit our lucky streak for the year and it's now over, I'm sure.  We won £7.50 on the Euromillions on Friday night and £25 on the Lotto on Saturday night.    Big winnings!
