Confirmation for the rest of you - because he sent me a text that evening saying, and I'm paraphrasing here: 'Goodness me, I've only gone and won the Bonus Ball' - that the winner of Saturday's penultimate game this season was Gavin Sutton with winning ball number 19. Congratulations to me ol' terrace mate who pockets £50. Many thanks as ever to those who took part.
Saturday week's (25th) evening kick-off with nothing riding on it (fingers crossed!) against Southport is your last chance for a Bonus Ball win, which you'll have done if you have picked the Bonus Ball selected in that evening's main Lotto draw on BBC television. Each ball from 1-49 costs £2, meaning you'll have even less time to learn if you're a winner/send me a similar text of exclamation.
Wrexham at home tomorrow and Alfreton on Saturday before that, however, just to keep the nerves in check. See you at both.
