I used to think that when you won the lottery the big, sparkly hand from the advert really did come out of the sky and say "it's YOU!". So when we bought a ticket, if it hadn't come out and pointed at us within five minutes I predicted that we hadn't won anything. I was never proven wrong, so I believed it for years.
