Lucky Git Id Never Have Believed It Unless Id Seen It Myself

Let me start at the beginning

Set this story up correctly

Waiting in line waiting to pay for my shopping on Christmas Eve

The man behind me asked me can you
put the lottery on here 

To which i answered yes 

I payed for my shopping and the Lady
then said is that it anything else ?

So i thought what the Hell

And a Lucky Dip for Wednesday's Christmas Lottery Draw

Come Boxing Day i thought might 
as well quickly check my Ticket

And i thought i had 3 numbers
where you usually win a £30 prize

So i went to the Garage later on to collect my winnings 

But the machine said i had to go to
the Post Office to collect my winnings 

And when i handed over my Ticket
turns out i won £628

As someone who has never won
anything in my entire life

I never would have believed it myself 

Until the moment she started counting
the money out

And 6 hours later

I still don't

Wake me up i must be dreaming
