 * Symbol question.svg Claiming for review, with a tentative preference for the first hook. However, I'd suggest wikifying it or at the very least linking to scratch cards and making it clear that we're talking about British Pounds here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 14:37, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I have changed the original hook to include a link to scratchcards and made it clear it was British pounds.Rain the 1 10:50, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Is that okay?Rain the 1 18:15, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah it should. ALT1 and ALT3 are pretty good. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 22:23, 25 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Okay, giving this a review now. Article meets hook and DYK requirements, a QPQ has been done, and the article is free of close paraphrasing. There is a minor typo in the article: "her funeral will take place of" instead of "her funeral will take place on". ALT1 seems too mean-spirited, so I am only approving the original hook and ALT2.
