The odds must be better than investing in the lottery.

You don't want a farm, you'll have to deal with townies, and be overrun with chickens and have piles of manure all over the shop .... actually the first part is more than enough to put people off surely

My beagle might sulk. I've got the shotgun though, bring on the townies.

Might be living on soup for a while here - what a great way to sell ready meals!

Each entry will be awarded a random number that will be checked against the prize database to determine whether or not it is a winner. Although the prizes are available to be won, there is no guarantee that they will actually be won.

That particular soup has been on special offer locally.... needless to say our soup consumption has gone up but I haven't even managed a pair of wellies yet.

or perhaps they should state... "there is no guarantee that we will actually award any winning numbers.... ???

I read that after I bought the soup....
