A man has won £400,000 in compensation after cutting his finger. Police mechanic Alexander Darg was checking an air bag fault in a police car when he accidentally slid his hand across a knife that had been left behind. He told the court he had been terrified of contracting the HIV virus.It's no wonder we're in a recession.

The lottery tells jackpot winners by e-mail. Lottery winner Graham Forrest found out he had won £2.7m when he opened an e-mail sent to him at work. When the message from the National Lottery said it had some "exciting news" for him, Mr Forrest from Cumbria thought he had won £10. He rang his wife but at first she refused to believe him.

wow, I received one of those e-mails and I thought it was spam... Wait, actually I don't play the lottery :D

I'd say all of those are beliveable...so a bit of a pointless article to be honest.

And they probaby got his e-mail via the online lottery play thing.
