Is a lottery win a blessing or a curse? (rerelease)
Dec 31, 2020
Show notes Greetings all and Happy New Year! We thought we'd give you a little new year's treat by rereleasing a vintage (yes, vintage) AQQA podcast from 2019. We will be back soon with more brand new episodes but until then please enjoy this week's episode.... Have you ever dreamed of winning millions on the lottery?

We hope you're doing as well as can be in the circumstances and that despite all that's going on you manage to have a good Christmas time.
