M Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yes, but have you seen how the dollar has fallen? Why, $1.5million is worth barely £750,000 in real money! Yawn - can you be bothered to claim it? Oh well, if you do... just let me know when it reaches your acount and I'll be there like a shot.

Chris Head Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Right Moggy...what you do is to email them expressing your complete shock and delight and that you're sooo excited and can't wait to go there to collect your prize, but unfortunate financial circumstances mean that you'll need some assistance with the expenses, therefore would they mind depositing say, 10,000USD into your account!If it comes off my share is a new amp!

Meg Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yep done that!I also explained that if this isn't possible i could have the full amount transferred into my pay pal account.Chris I'd buy you the biggest amp in the whole world if i'd won that much!!
