It was actually the new Rs3 (fully specced, circa 55k, same as the retail price for the vxr8) I wanted, not the outgoing one but BOTB would of preferred me to either take the cash or have the car as it would of set the precedent of other future winners to ask for different cars.

I like to have a bet here and there but I'm a sensible better. I never bet more than I earn and I don't bet hundreds a month either. It's 99.99% less than £100 for a bit of harmless fun. I don't drink, smoke and I one off clothes shop a year so it's just a little hobby of mines, I like doing.

I am looking at buying a property and I'm being 100% sensible with it as I know hitting the jackpot in similar fashion might not happen again in my lifetime. I'm holding off the car purchase.

Life is all about taking risks, that relates to all sorts of people and inventions, Steve Jobs with Apple and people like Andreas Panayiotou who sold off his real estate in 2007 before the big crash.

Rich people got to where they are by taking RISK. These days it's so hard to acculmate vast wealth as the majority of the time you need money to make money.

As I said thanks to those who have left positive comments and I wish those who play and aren't skeptical about this dream car winning competition the best of luck. I'm playing again this week!

This post is almost entirely constructed of flimsy self-rationalisation.

That you don't blow money in one place is not a good reason to blow it in another. You say you don't bet more than you earn, but it still would be disastrous if you did bet most of what you earn and lost. And rich people usually got to where they are by having a load of money in the first place, or with work, rather than uncontrolled risk.

I'm not sure if I'm in a troll thread, an advert or OP's "coming out" speech as a gambler.

There are some remarkable similarities between his story and the R32 lease thread from a while back.

There is no such thing as 'American English'. There is English; and there are mistakes.
