Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
cheers GF.

This is not a conspiracy theory as no one could win it with the wrong set of numbers. It looks more like a mistake.
The Euro raffle takes the actua lset of numbers issued and randomly chooses one of them for 1m. It looks like they used last Friday's set of numbers hence no winner. I still have found no one with a ticket beginning with anything else than 'C'.

I used to go to a folk club at the back of a pub in Tottenham Rd and watch Bert Jansch and John Renbourne with a few other musicians. They became the group called the Pentangle. I found my membership card recently. It was The New Contempory Folk Club
I just found a reference to it in the International Times

It was the pub just to the left of the Dominion cinema at the corner of Oxford St and Tottenham Court Rd. It was in the back, just a small room with sometimes just about 20 of us. We all used to drink at the bar together audience and musicians. Then we would take a sort of vote when to start another session. Renbourne was and is also very good. He was more melodic.

Mine began with a C but I did win the wonderous amount of 2.60 on two numbers - nothing to do with the millionaires raffle of course. How it pays to be on the ball Haystack so to speak, very good.

..Apple's visionary Steve Jobs dead at 56
....SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Steve Jobs, the transcendent Silicon Valley entrepreneur who reinvented the world's computing, music and mobile phone industries and changed the daily habits of millions around the globe, died on Wednesday at the age of 56.
His death after a years-long battle with pancreatic cancer sparked an immediate outpouring of tributes as world leaders, business rivals and fans alike lamented the tragedy of his premature passing and celebrated his monumental achievements.
"The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve's success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented," U.S. President Barack Obama said in a statement.

When this government has sorted out the mess Labour left the NHS in , we will stand more of a chance.
Under Labour you needed luck , it was a lottery.
