Almost millions, again!!

Over the years I've managed to achieve a number of things that people would consider utterly remarkably. The odds on achieving just some of things I've done are off the measureable scale. However, I've always maintained that none of them is that remarkable, as, in my opinion, luck is where opportunity meets ability. I don't think that will ever change.

One thing that has evaded me though is a big lottery win! For good reason, the lottery is all about pure luck. There is nothing I can do, apart from some basics, to influence how those numbers fall. I keep coming frustratingly close though!

On Saturday, for the second time in eights months, I was just one ball away from the jackpot on the national lottery. Twice now I have seen all five of the first five balls drop into place, only for the sixth to deny me. As a result, one person won £4.5m on Saturday, I am sure they could have shared that?

I take solace however that somewhere in a parallel dimension another Peter just saw that sixth ball drop into place, after all it was only a one in 43 chance, again!
