WHAT a pleasure it was to read (Oxford Mail, October 30) about Ron Cook’s windfall win in the Lottery.

We have had so much doom and gloom for so long.

It was a real lift to see someone had benefited from the Lottery and someone who is happy to share it with his family.

Good luck Ron and happy fishing.

What with that article and the lovely photographs people are sending in, these are something the Government can’t spoil and they help to brighten the dullest of days.
