Albert Tatlock Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Fro the Independent: "Two Parisian tobacconists from the Rue des Entrepreneurs admitted yesterday they had taken their street name too literally. They, and a friend, cheated a customer out of a €35.5m (£24m) win on the EuroMillions lottery last month." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minxie Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 It's not just the French, the English do that sort of thing as well. I think they way shops check the tickets isn't very good as the customer can not see the information on the screen so they don't know if they are being told the truth or not. The few times I do buy a ticket I purchase it on line these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Take Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Doesn't the machine make a loud bleep noise when it scans a winning ticket, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Its always made me laugh that the only person validating whether you've won or lost is often a petrol station loser or a lard arsed Spar Shop worker. How do you 'lose' a petrol station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
