It Could Be You!

Taken from the Daily Mail website regarding the couple who've £33 million on the National Lottery:

"He is a keen golfer but has been unable to play for some months due to a heart condition called Atrial Fibrillation. Mrs Martin added: 'David has been suffering in recent months from an irregular heart rate and has been taking medication to help control it.

'He will need to have a small operation soon to help steady the pulses and after that should be back out on the golf course before too long.'

I certainly hope that over excitement and sheer elation isn't a trigger for Mr Martin!

If he plays golf anything like me, he'll need most of that money to pay for the lost balls!
