Martes y trece...unlucky for some

Just thought I'd mention this for those of a superstitious nature out there....

Today is Tuesday 13th.  In Spain this is the equivalent of Friday 13th as we know it.

It's "martes y trece" here....

Anyone out there superstitious?

Justin

You read my mind or I did yours Justin, I was about to ask Luis to explain the origin of this tradition in his blog now.

Best,

Maria

Well, it may be unlucky for some but not for me.  I've just won 2.5 million dollars!  See this email I received today:

Justin

well i'm so glad to hear that such a fine upstanding and totally wonderfully generous, gracious 'salt of the earth' and very deserving person should win a lottery.

.......now about that pair of Lamborghinis!!!

Justin

They forgot to mention your bank details as well

You also Justin!

I won last month... and two months before that I won!

On both times I'd won exactly the same amount as you... and I think it was exactly the same e-ticket number... amazing stroke of luck... wouldn't you say!!!

TechNoApe

well done you also, what a stroke of luck. This is fabulous, I've a good mind to put it on the 'happy stories only'  thread.

I haven't won yet, but I have been told by a very nice Prince Bongawombahoo from Nigeria that if I just put £1000,00 in to a bank account and let him have all my bank details, that he will fund the account with a million pounds that is half of what he has had left him by his great uncle, and needs safe keeping.

I'm just off to the bank now, how could I refuse such a gift??

''martes y trece''......bring it on I say!!

And there was I thinking I was the "lucky" one 'cos I had won 995,000.

Point of contact doesn't ask for bank details. so wonder can it be located just using the info one is requested to supply ???? 

OR will that come later with the details of my journey to  Outer Mongolia to collect the winnings !!!

please be careful!  If they don't ask you for your bank details with at least a thousand pounds (that they can add to) there could be something dodgy going on?  Justin's lottery win sounds far more reliable!!
