Very fun interactive post there, but I think there is a small bug with 3 of the polls though. It marked the opposite one that I marked. Lol

And congratulations on your big win! Ya lucky git :)

Thanks Darren, Im thinking that you’ve zoomed in to the page a little so that so of the text is slighty out of position? Thank for the feedback!

Who needs luck when you can have a huge string of very fortunate events ha ha :-)

That’s what it could be, I’ve been zooming in and out of a lot pages lately because I’m pretty much blind alright. Just probably need zoom out a bit and invest in a pair of glasses. Lol haha :)
