The Weasel: Spends over £100 a week on the lottery

(Didn't publish last post which badly denigrated all the inhabitants of Emmer Green. It was so rude it shocked even me. I'll keep this personal)

He says he spends £100 a week on the lottery. But before moving on, let us apply the law of Weasel Bad Habit Understatement. Conservatively, every stated unit of stupidity = 4 real u.o.s.
So more like £400 then.

In his defence, though, I should tell you that some of the "lines" have a really good feel to them. They do not follow any definite mathematical sequence nor display clumping. We must also remember that he knows he will win one day and in fact did win £2000 in 1995! Not to mention several tenners since then.

Even using the £100 figure, he has spent £62,400 on the lottery. That's some investment which many would have frittered away buying houses and presents for their girlfriends. No wonder he has no money to spend on luxuries like the £400 repair bill for my back door which he trashed while on a drunken binge.

But, as he pointed out, its all money money money with me.
