@jackrabbit10 no, the pound is worth more than the dollar because we didn't fuck up our economy.

@jackrabbit10 No. At today's exchange rate, £5,000 would be about $6,800.

When I won it, it was before Brexit, after which the pound collapsed against the dollar, so it would have been closer to $9,000.
