I'm rich

I got an email this morning that says my email address, attached to ticket number 27522465896-6453, with serial number 3772-554 drew the lucky numbers 7-14-18-31-45, and consequently won in the 2nd Category of the Swiss Lotto Zurich Highstakes International Promotions Lottery. I’ve therefore been approved for a lump sum payment of 1.8 million US dollars.

That’s brilliant isn’t it? I’m an instant millionaire. I can pay off our mortgage and our car. I can even buy myself a nice new Italian racing bike.

Although I’m a little wary of claiming my prize at this stage. I’m now wondering if someone like me, who can’t even remember ever entering any lotteries, let alone the prestigious Swiss Lotto Zurich Highstakes International Promotions Lottery, can really be trusted with such a large amount of money.

Still, I haven’t been this excited since the widow of a Nigerian General offered me 6 million dollars to help her get her fortunes out of the country.

  • You had me excited there for a minute, Rodney. I was about to hit you up for a verrrrrrrrry big loan ;o) (just kidding of course. I was made rich by a Nigerian via my Hotmail account)

  • awww darn, i changed e-mail accounts at Christmas (i had had the same e-mail address for 6 years) and no longer receive any lotto winning notifications or letters from Nigeria … but i’ll only whisper that really quietly, since i don’t want them to find me …. i don’t want to take away from someone else’s big pot of $$$$ ….

    less than a week to go and you and your group will be peddling away in India … that is so cool! will keep praying for a good trip for you all! Lord Bless ya!

  • hey Rodney, I’m replying to the comment you left in my blog here. (I figured you’re more likely to see it here.)

    So was it you who posted about Bloglines sometime ago? I know someone did but I couldn’t find the post.
    Yes, it’s a great idea.
    But I can’t seem to subscribe to yours via Blogline! Is it just me?
