It could be you. It probably won't, of course, but maybe, just maybe, it could be. 

That's the attraction of Britain's lottery for its millions of players and this week it reached its 25th birthday. 

For self-proclaimed Lottery mug, Simon Lambert, that's two-and-a-half decades of spending money on the draw week-in, week-out because foolishly he has six numbers committed to memory.

For some lucky people though, it's meant winning a life-changing sum of money, albeit for a handful it probably didn't change life for the better.

On this week's podcast, Simon, Georgie Frost and George Nixon look at 25 years of the lottery and the story of a couple, Elaine and Derek, from Newcastle who won £2.7million shortly after the game started.

So what did they do with the money - and what would our podcast team do?

Also, this week we discuss the 100 per cent mortgages for students who want to try their hand at becoming buy-to-let landlords.

Meanwhile, providers that know your new card details before you hand them over and Black Friday scams are also on the agenda.
