Nowhere near as many as are bought by the 'dreamers'in the run-down, deprived areas - that's where most lottery sales are made. So maybe it's no surprise and not unfair that most of the spending goes there too - apart from millions to the Royal Opera House, of course.<br /><br />Here's an idea - get everyone in Cullingworth who buys lottery tickets, instead to give that money to the Village Hall Fund every week - that way, you get all the £, not just the left-overs - and see how long it takes to raise enough for the hall (if you can persuade them to stop deaming about the millions they won't win). And that would be a genuine village hall, created and 'owned' by the village.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172766774137902766.post-49118854107645096672015-10-16T18:54:05.587+01:002015-10-16T18:54:05.587+01:00Dear Cllr Cooke
