Viv Nicholson, high school drop out, sees a football pools win as the way out of a humdrum life. Her much publicised wish to `Spend, Spend Spend!' ensured her 15 minutes of fame in the tabloid press. The money ran out and so did her interest for the press. Her book and the stage play derived from it briefly put her back in the tabloids.
Unlike the Nicholsons, modern Lottery winners are offered financial advice. Either an assumption that either the ordinary working classes can't handle big money, or a guilty conscience for ruining two people's lives. A well acted description of how two people become victims of circumstances as they quickly get out of their depth.
