What do people do with their lottery winnings? I don't mean the big life changing amounts. Just the £10 here or the £20 there. I've tried to find out how much prize money this equates to every week but no luck as of yet. I'm thinking about this because I was on the train the other day and I overheard a lady telling a friend she voted 5 times for the winner of that irritating Joseph programme after winning a tenner on the lottery. I imagine there are loads of little micro-economies that benefit from these winnings. Things like takeaways and off licenses are the obvious ones, but I thought this example of lottery winnings funding reality TV voting interesting.
