“Are you serious?! Far out!” she joyfully yelled.
“I shouldn’t say this but, bloody hell!
“I’m going to faint in a minute. This is life-changing.
“I wondered who was calling me at seven o’clock in the morning. I thought it was a hoax!
“I’ve been playing for ages and ages. I thought for so long that I would never win division one!
“I just have an automated QuickPick that runs every week. I know the numbers off by heart.
“I’m going to ring my children after I compose myself.
“I can’t believe this.”
