I'm a winner!
I'm a regular reader of the English weekly Amsterdam paper, Amsterdam Weekly. It's only been around a year, and it could be more diverse, but I'm happy it exists and I hope it can keep going. Plus, my friend, Steven, writes music stuff for them.
Recently they had a readers' survey, with the enticement of prizes if you returned the survey with your contact details on it. So I sent it in, and yesterday I got a letter from the paper announcing that I'd won not just a prize, but the first prize. Whoohoo! The prize is dinner and a movie for two at The Movies. Not bad. I never win anything, so I'm wondering if I'm like the only person who returned a survey or something. Or maybe Steven rigged it all in my favour.
