It goes like this....It was Thursday lunchtime and we had just been with Cath to the Hospital where she had her latest scan; everything OK baby 5lb+ and other measurements all fine. On the way back we needed some shopping so she dropped us off at the local supermarket. After the usual wandering about arriving at the till I decided to ask the chap to check our lotto tickets (1 from the previous Saturday and 2 from the Wednesday). He said "I'll show you how to do it yourself" and took us over to one of those Lotto tables where you fill in your slip which is also equipped with a bar-code reader. He flashed the Saturday ticket "Better Luck next time" he said reading a message on a screen above the reader, "A Thousand Dollars" he said flashing the first Wednesday ticket. "You're having us on" said I. "A Thousand Dollars" he said again flashing the second Wednesday ticket!!
It transpired we had won $1007.00 on each ticket and were one number short of the Jackpot on each ticket. There were no winners of the Jackpot but 47 winners of the next highest prize ($1007) and we had 2 of them.
C'est la vie.
The cheque for $2,014
