A Reading based charity has scooped the jackpot after winning more than £50,000 from The People's Millions. The irony of an organisation getting money from a tax on the poor to help people who get into debt buying Lottery tickets was lost as organisations started fighting to take the credit for the win.

Local Conservatives press released their support of the lottery bid after the win. Andrew Cumpsty told us how he had single handedly won the bid after urging attendees of the Reading 2020 Partnership meeting to make sure they voted. "Without my strong leadership, people present at the meeting would not have taken any notice of the previous speaker who asked us all to vote from them. Without my determined bandwagon jumping, the bid would have been lost and I'm sure that the Credit Union would like to thank the Conservatives for their unceasing support over the last few days which made this press release possible."

Martin Salter denounced the Conservative attempt to hijack the win, proudly proclaiming that it was he 'Wot Won It'. "Without the Labour Party's national policy of ensuring that everyone is in poverty and soon to require Credit Union bailouts because there will soon be no banks left, this bid would not have even been on the agenda."

In the interest of fairness we should also point out the Reading Borough Council, The Evening Post, the Reading Chronicle, the Greens, the unions, the Cats Protection League and Uncle Tom Cobbley and all are also claiming credit for the win.
