Wowzers, didn’t realise there were people who’d put in multiple entries. Disgraceful if true, it’s just spitting on Steve doing something nice in the most selfish, anti-Christmas way possible. I agree, there’s no end of charities who could use the money for something good.
It’s the root of all evil mate especially when it’s free. As soon as these people get a sniff of free money they are like a pack of wolves.
I think what I hate the most is that it makes me cynical and see the worst in people. And I’m doing okay now but I’ve had times even in the last year or two where I’ve been down on my luck in various ways, indeed before Gamstop there were times I haven’t helped myself with the gambling as a poor way of escapism from other problems, but the chancers and the begging and the stuff like this with the draw entries, it just means every time now someone who might be genuine posts a story about how they’re struggling, I instantly think “yeah bullshit”, even though I’ve been there myself. I don’t like that it erodes my compassion.
