Last time, I filled the form and forgot about it completely. My wife was taking a nap after her night shift, and when the doorbell rang, we were greeted with a brand new Lamborghini worth £195,000 and prize money of £20,000. We are so grateful to god, as we were worried about my job prospects." The couple has decided to keep the cash instead of the car, as they need cash at the moment. They plan to buy a house soon as they are currently living on rent.
