The other day I made a very reluctant Felix (he thinks the lottery stinks and that I am wasting money) leg it as fast as only a seventeen year old with long legs can to get the lottery ticket in - just on time. Unfortunately, on his return, I realised that, by accident, I had voided one of my three lines. Not only did I find myself having palpitations but, worse, saying: If those numbers win I'll kill myself. Isn't human nature such a work of art? There you are, week after week, willing your numbers to come through only to find yourself praying that those missed numbers won't: After all, I don't really want to kill myself. As it happens I am still alive. U Dear god in heaven, AJ, that story makes my flesh crawl – and I am pretty resilient.
