I should be so lucky

I'm in the money:

NATIONAL LOTTERY is approved

...which is surprising given that I've only ever played the National Lottery twice and both those times were over three years ago.

Apparently, the National Lottery (Or British Board 2007, as they seem to prefer to call themselves):

1) Are crap at proof-reading their emails.
2) Like to use free, web-based email services.

All they want are my complete details and account information.

Guess I'll book that holiday in Rio then.

I got this email too. I suppose they didn't notice that I lived in Canada.
