I just received an e-mail today to let me know that I've won the Dutch lottery! I was completely gobsmacked, especially since I don't remember entering it, however I don't want to dwell on the details of this sudden burst of good fortune. HJ or Ron, could you collect the cash for me and bring it over with you to Burton later in the year? The details are in the e-mail below:
