Yes, Sally. You are right - a U.S. lottery in my state. If I win, I will buy you that house you liked - and one for me as well :D:D:D
Just kidding ... but if you win and buy a big house, I will want to come and stay :) |

A bit heavy there mate...............this is a person that said they bought a lottery ticket not a blinkin' criminal!! :eek:
I wouldn't want anyone on BE to think they had won a million (££) on the UK lottery only to find they were not eligible to receive a penny of it. And believe me, when you are talking about obtaining £1m by any kind of deception, the courts would likely not care what your story is. As the saying goes, forewarned is forearmed ... |

Um, I think she means the lottery here.
UK residents call the UK national lottery "the lottery" So I'm confused as to which one you mean. :confused: |

While I do not disagree with your sentiments what a miserable and incredibly anal place the world has become, especially some small corners of the earth!
Which brings up a question I have been pondering - premuim bonds? Not likely but if I was to win the big one million on my bond number bought 40 years ago by my grandmother while I was definitely a UK resident, but now I am not then would I be able to claim?:confused: http://www.nsandi.com/help/livingabroad - looks like you are allowed to hold them in terms of UK regulations, but residents of the US may be at some unspecified disadvantage if they win. |

Ha ha ha! Yes, little old me considering by a measly $5 worth of lottery tickets each week so I can win enough, pay taxes on it, and scoot off home to the UK ASAP with my pets :)
Now, if I could win enough to buy a lovely home in the UK outright, my life would be pure bliss.. I wrote this because somewhere I read you need to clarify your dreams for them to come true :) :) |

You spend more than me, I do the $2 quick pick each week, I have my new year ticket for Saturday ready to go, :fingerscrossed:
You could pick 5 numbers and not play them and then see how they do. You can also see if they have won in the passed. If the five numbers come up forget who told you not to play.:lol: |

I've wondered about that, too, between - a place to put our info.
What about a spreadsheet on Google docs - if we update our own info, that is. I have never used Google docs but I have come across other sites that have. Or put a link on the main expats page. The link could be to a pdf that one person maintains. Update and re-save to the same file name so no one has to change the link. |

FnC you are so right. I forgot that.
I believe there is a new caravan that came out just a few years ago that looks like a teardrop but a much larger version and you can stand up in that. It's not called a teardrop, though. I am a popup fan myself. Would love to find one of these in Britain somewhere (if I can afford to even camp, that is). |
Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK.
Good luck with your lottery tickets everyone, wherever you are. :thumbsup: We have a big one tonight, CA$50 million...its got my name on it, I can feel it :lol:

Id like to wish all my friends here on the Ex Pats forum a Happy and Heathly 2011, I really hope you have a terrific year, I hope its a turn around year for many of you.
I decided not to name names as I'm sure I would forget a few and I hate doing that. I know lots of us worry about money and family but please remember if you've got your health you've already got a lot to be grateful for. Take Care. Thanks also for the TV series info. I tried to reply a few times yesterday but couldn't get anything to function? Hope this works today.... |

Actually, I spend zero now but I am going to start. Can't win if I don't play and it COULD be worth it! |
