A man goes to the doctor’s and asks why he’s been feeling ill. The doctor examines him and replies, “I’m sorry to tell you, you’ve got Yellow 24.”

“What’s that?” the man asks.

“It means your internal organs have started turning yellow - you’ve got 24 hours to live.”

The man tells his wife the bad news. His wife says, “Well, will you come to the bingo with me tonight then? Otherwise you’ll never be able to.”

The man agrees and they go to the bingo. He finds that he’s won the one-line and £10. Twenty minutes later, he’s won the full house and £150. He enters the lucky draw, worth £500, and wins that too. The bingo caller calls him up on stage.

He says “I don’t believe it. You’ve won a total of £660 in one night. You must be the luckiest man on the earth!”

The man says “Well, no, I’m not. I’ve got Yellow 24.”

The bingo caller looks down at the piece of paper he’s holding and starts clapping. “I don’t believe it; he’s won the raffle as well!”
