Trade Description Act

I bought a lottery ticket the other day, on the off chance of scooping a cool 8 million big ones. I got to the shop, and because Im a relatively lazy so-and-so, I decided just to get a lucky dip. Basically, what Im saying is "Well Camelot, I'll take your huge jackpot, but Im not prepared to take some time thinking about 6 numbers"

For the last few days I have been buoyed up by my impending jackpot win. It was a lucky dip...what could possibly go wrong? Lucky, to me, implies 'dead cert', a 'sure thing'. So I have been going around mentally spending the 8 million.

I would hire a Global Express executive jet to take me and a lucky few to some exotic remote island, where we would spend the next month living an idylic party life style.

Then I would go somewhere skiing, and spend the next month living an idylic party life style...

You get the impression...

So, imagine my surprise when checking my 'Lucky' numbers to find I didn't get one sodding number! Lucky Dip, my arse! I feel I have a good case to sue Camelot - what the hell is so lucky about not getting one friggin' number??

They should rename this tickets to 'A 13.8 million in one chance Dip' or, more acurately 'Not a chance in Hell Dip'

And the people who win these enormous jackpots - pah! The all say the same thing:

"Despite clearly having more money than sense, I wont give up work"

and

"It wont change me"

All that money is wasted on these people! Have some imagination! Give it to me and watch a guy having a great time!

Anyone know any good lawyers willing to do Pro Bono work? After all I don't have any money to pay them!
