Hope for us all

Good morning everybody!

Just would like to say that 2 weeks ago, while attempting to solve the GK crossword in the Saturday Telegraph, I saw my name mentioned in the list of prize winners.

Not the main prize but a consolation prize of a Whitaker's Almanack. What a complete shock and pleasant surprise!

I was also pleased with the content and quality of this very handy aid to quiz/crossword buffs and would highly recommend it. (�6.99)

Although I have been previously paid for some of my work submitted to this newspaper, it certainly doesn't compare with actually winning something. Can't imagine how I would feel winning the lottery!

Anyway, things pay off in the end with patience, so don't give up!

Good luck to you all. (M)

Well done!!! Let's hope it is the start of many more wins!

Same happened to me....does it mean that we have to win the runners'-up prize seven times before we can expect to win the big one?

Well done merlinius ... I was also fortunate enough to win a similar prize a few months ago, and it certainly makes it all worthwhile! (S)
