question.

What you mean those of a 'certain age' can't use Google.....

What is the "Jackpot Pools Win of 1957 of £75,000" worth today, or, putting
it a different way, What would "£75,000 of today's money", have been worth
in 1957??

Using this document as a basis (House Of Commons Research Paper 99/20
Inflation: the Value of the Pound 1750-1998):

http://www.parliament.uk/commons/lib/research/rp99/rp99-020.pdf

Average price levels in 2005 would be about 13 times those in 1957.

So 75,000 would be about 1.2 million
