This Is Another One Of Those 'Good Luck' Stories I Love So Much,
going to a boot fair in in Portsmouth,a lucky lady spotted these 3 glasses, going for .40p each, thinking they could be worth a little more she purchased them and took them to auctioneers Stride and Son for them to have a look, Mark Hewitt, from the auctioneers said, 'she brought the glasses to us and was a bit embarrassed and said she didn't want to waste our time, before the sale she was trying to gauge how excited I was but I didn't give anything away and I think she was a bit shocked when I opened the bidding at £500, then within just a few minutes the bidding got up to 16,000 pounds,' they are rare Beilby glass - which is a famous name - and were made at the workshop in Newcastle, the items were made in about 1765 and fewer than 100 of these armorial glasses are recorded, lucky or what?speaking of being lucky if you fancy your luck the biggest ever UK Lotto jackpot of £166million went unclaimed again last night, the EuroMillions top prize will now rollover for a 14th time - with £166million still up for grabs on Tuesday, the jackpot has reached its limit, so ticket sales will fund bigger lower tier prizes, last night's two winning Brits benefited from that policy, when they were among six people who matched five numbers and one lucky star and netted £3.3million with the second prize, some one in the UK buy me a ticket - please!
