I was really jealous of my parents and my older friends who played the lottery every week, so when I became old enough, I couldn't wail to make a start. 1 picked a set of numbers and from then on I used the same oo« с very time 1 played. My school exams finished on 13th June, so to celebrate, I put £3 on a Lottery ticket. That evening, just Mum and 1 were at home watching the numbers being drawn on TV, As the numbers were called, my heart started pounding as I matched them to my ticket. 'Mum, I've won die lottery!21 shouted. When mother came I made her check the numbers just to make sure we weren't going mad. But even after she'd checked diem, I still wouldn't allow myself to believe it, Finally I dialled die number on the back of my ticket and was told to come to the regional centre on Tuesday to confirm if I had the winning ticket .That meant I had to wait two days before I could find out if 1 had really won. Tuesday came and with my mother I went to the Lottery’s office. There we met Alison Knight who checked my ticket for about half an hour until finally she came out with my cheque. "Congratulations, Mark, you're the youngest winner we've ever had. Here's your cheque for £127.000.' I was so shocked, as I couldn't believe that I was a winner. The next day, a press meeting was held at my Karate club. All the papers were there, a TV crew even came and interviewed me — but it happened so quickly, I didn't have the chance to get nervous. That was my 15 minutes of feme! Since winning the Lottery two months ago, my life hasn't really changed that much, I've put той of my money in an investment account to avoid wasting it I bought Mum a new jeep and I wanted to buy our house, but my parents wouldn't let me. I also gave my grandparents some cash to gel some work done on their house. 99 |
