the readers of this newsgroup are of such an age that they can answer this
question.

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 the retail price index - which goes up to 2002, it's worth £1,220,033
