The lottery has a surprisingly long and interesting history, in this week's episode we delve into that before talking about a couple of infamous lottery winners, one of which was surely cursed!

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 04:55 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
