What would you do with a million pound?
I don't think I would ever be able to answer that until I actually won a million pound.
And guess what at 21 I won the lottery and had 1 MILLION pound added to my bank account. I couldn't believe it I went to check my bank balance and the balance was £1000000 extra then what I expected. At this point I was so confused and didn't know what to do. I thought it was a mistake (I was in collage and had a job that payed minimum wage). I instantly called my bestie annibelle as she was studying banking to asked her wether a mistake like this was possible.
She didn't pick up straight away, so I called her once more, still no pick up. RING

HELLO THIS IS ANNIBELLE PHONE. I CAN NOT REACH THE PHONE LEAVE A MESSAGE.
So I left a message telling her it was urgent that she call me back as soon as possible. Next I called my bank agency and left them with the same question. The also didn't pick up which was kind of unlucky, apparently it is closed which is great considering it is only 4 pm and I am going through a serious problem and need their help!!!
I was totally fustrated at the bank and wanted to know what happend. I felt so guilty for not being happy but who could blame me I didn't want to get my hopes up and find out it was an accident. I just wanted the truth (and if that truth turned out to be that the money was mine I would be over joyed but I was staying calm for the time being).
I went straight home to my student flat where I found anibelle sat on her bed studying. I wanted to blow up at that very moment. Why wouldn't you pick up your /stupid/ phone if it was right next to your very hand. Staying calm I told her about my melt down and how I was so confused. Luckily my friend was a genius and new straight away what had happened. Do you want to know? I had been extremely stupid and forgot about my weakly lottery pay.
Apparently, £2 a month of our money goes towards the lottery. This is one thing I didn't know but, obviously, annibelle knew. She told me that since she had a good job and was extremely well payed if we ever won anything I would inherit it.
