Title: This makes me happy!
Post by: Mark Chapman on May 31, 2010, 05:38:56 PM
I doubt many people here will care, but oh well :D

As most will - or should - know... I'm a huge FOOTBALL fan and Liverpool FC has my heart. They held a charity function the other day for Zoe's Place Baby Hospice and raffle tickets were available to buy online. I bought 5 and ended up a winner :D

Funny thing is, I only found out about the raffle due to a tweet that popped up on my Mark feed 10 hours before it closed XD I was the second to last person to buy any tickets, and I won the top prize! So, thank you Mark Chapman XD

My prize was a football signed by most of the Liverpool squad:

Also appears I've made a new friend through this. One of the organisers drove from Liverpool to my house to bring the prize and I invited him in for a coffee. We had a nice little chat, talking about how many pubs there are around here and how I need to let him know when I'm next in Liverpool so we can go out for a "bevvy". He asked how I heard about the raffle and then posted about it on Twitter when he got home lol.

In total we raised just under £3300 at our LFC Charity Night on Saturday. And the top prize went to a fan who saw our tweets!

Proof that Twitter is good for the world!

I'd never really won anything noteworthy until this year when I won £500 on a scratchcard on my birthday and now this lol. Go me XD

Maybe I should start playing the lottery more often...

people around me keep winning things. one of my best friends from college won a million bucks (american) for pitching a perfect game on one the the new baseball video games. 3 years ago, he was a corvette.

Me and my wife once won a trip to the bahamas. Then the dog at the paperwork...


...dumb dog.
