It was ....

76 - 7 and 6 - Was she worth it?

'Was she worth it' is 76 not 56!

It comes from when a marriage licence was 7 shillings and sixpence. (I am reliably informed :D I'm not old enough to remember!

Go on then enlighten us, what is the most you have won? And do you you shout 'Bingo', 'Here', or 'House'?

Also, do all outlets still use that terminology to describe the numbers?
