We've already mentioned that Lincoln City are now just one win away from a trip to Wembley after beating Peterborough 4-2 in the Checkatrade Trophy quarter final last night.
Here's an interesting graphic which demonstrates how much each cup competition has been worth to Lincoln City in the last couple of seasons:
Their amazing run last year - which ended in a quarter final defeat to Arsenal last March - has dragged in the most cash.
But if they can keep the momentum going in the Checkatrade Trophy, they're due another major payday...
Fixed odds betting terminals are causing "devastation, debt and despair", Lincolnshire Conservative MP John Hayes has told the House of Commons.
During Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Hayes, who represents South Holland and the Deepings, called on Theresa May to reduce the maximum bet and crack down on online gambling sites targeting children.
Mrs May said maximum stakes "will be cut" ahead of an official review by the government.

One person has been arrested.
Councillors reviewing the controversial decision to switch-off streetlights overnight in Lincolnshire are considering the impact it's had in other areas of the UK at a meeting today.
A new report says the cost-cutting measure has increased the fear of crime and stopped some people going out at night.
Quote MessageWe are responsible as a county council for people's health and wellbeing, which does encompass their fear, and not feeling comfortable going out at night. We have got a duty to address that and I'm sure we will."
Angela Newton, Chairman of streetlight review, Lincolnshire County Council
Lincoln's only NHS walk-in centre will close at the end of February, it's been confirmed.
At a meeting this afternoon, managers from the West Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group said they were confident alternative services were now in place
Fewer people are already using the centre, which is on Monks Road, they added.
The walk-in centre will open only at weekends during February, before it closes for good at the end of the month.
Thousands of people previously signed a petition to keep the centre open.
Campaigners have now criticised today's decision:
Quote MessageI'm gobsmacked, I feel as though I'm Alice and I've just walked out of Wonderland at a Mad Hatter's tea party! The walk-in centre has been full to capacity every evening I've visited it."

Rough sleepers in Grimsby and Cleethorpes have told the BBC they've been kicked and spat at as they slept in doorways.
Their comments come just a day before new figures are due to be released showing how many people are living rough across the UK.
It's believed there are about 40 rough sleepers in North East Lincolnshire.
Cadey Ryley, from Shoezone, on Peters Avenue in Cleethorpes, says the number of rough sleepers has certainly grown - so much so that it's affecting business in the town:
Quote MessageI know it's not all about money, but if we don't take the money, shop closures happen and that makes people redundant. It's not doing the area any favours at all."
Cadey Ryley, Shop owner
The trust which runs Lincolnshire's hospitals has confirmed it suffered two "serious adverse incidents" last year.
Such incidents are otherwise known as "never events" and are said to be largely preventable.
While "unacceptable and inexcusable", managers at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) say neither of the patients involved suffered long-term harm.
Four so-called "never events" took place in ULHT hospitals in the previous 12 months.
Quote MessageThe trust takes Never Events extremely seriously. We are very disappointed to have had two during 2017-18."

A couple who were trapped for hours after a tree fell on their house and damaged two cars have told the BBC it could have been worse.
The tree hit Eileen and Keith Samford's house in Scartho at about 07:00 today.
It bounced off and landed on their neighbour's two cars, writing them off.
Quote MessageThe tree surgeons have come, they've been fantastic. We are just glad no-one was injured. Underneath the tree is our grandchildren's swing. They would have been out playing if it was a nice dry day.

The 57-mile route will stretch from Sutton Bridge to Skegness and, if approved, it will form part of the 2,700-mile long England coast path.
The first stretch, between Skegness and Mablethorpe, was approved last year and is expected to be open some time in the spring.
