Behind the sofa lottery winners

I had a dream last night where I found forgotten money in my house. I clearly remember there being two five pound notes as well as other notes and stuff.

This evening I needed money for a pizza, and was going through trouser/coat pockets etc, looking for pound coins. I found £50 in a coat, which involved two five pound notes and other notes.

This isn't a thread about premonitions however. I couldn't give a shit about other people's dreams. The point is: £50 is my best ever household forgotten find. Previously I've found up to £10-£15 on very rare occasions. I also quite often find half-full packets of cigarettes.

The question is: what surprising things, especially money, have you found in your house that you didn't remember having?

eight years pass...

found £250 under my mattress once. i got drunk after getting paid for a gig and had hidden the money for some unknown reason. spent the day after i "lost" the money going through cctv footage from the bar i'd been at the night before. it was quite a delight to find that £250, but not quite enough to be worth the self loathing caused by the initial "loss".

ten years pass...

I just got 4 numbers and 2 bonus balls on Euromillions, for a second I was thinking maybe I've got 50 grand here! But even though only 4 other people in the UK won that prize fund - it's just short of £1500. Fucking robbing bastards! But still ever so slightly buzzing to be only £400 overdrawn now.

I only did 2 lines and the other number 40, that would have released the full jackpot bonanza was on the line below :(

calzino, Tuesday, 18 May 2021 21:02 (four years ago)

my two lines:

05 13 35 38 39 / 04-12
02 15 23 36 40 / 05-11

and the fucking numbers that came out of the tombola of fate

05 13 38 39 40 / 04-12

just think you were *that* fucking close to knowing a millionaire!

Congrats on the win! :)

cheers caj! it does seem a bit churlish to moan about not being a millionaire when £1500 is a very good return on £2.50, but FUCK THESE WANKERS!
