The Lottery Ticket

Oh no! What bad luck!! Last Saturday, Tina Green, a 56-year-old grandmother from Cambridge in England, went to her local newsagent’s and bought a lottery ticket for £2. She was very excited because this week the jackpot was £35 million! Every Saturday Tina plays the same numbers, and she always puts her ticket in her bag. But this Saturday she had her small grandson, Billy, with her. ‘He was a little monkey!’, said Tina. ‘He ran round the shop and made a lot of noise.’ She was so busy with him that she put the ticket in the back pocket of her jeans.

The lottery is on TV every Saturday evening, and Tina loves watching it. ‘It’s really exciting. I love listening for my numbers – they’re my lucky numbers, well … they were my lucky numbers!’

Last Saturday, Tina made a cup of tea and sat on the sofa to watch the lottery. One by one, she saw her numbers on the TV. She was amazed – all the numbers were on her ticket. She was very excited, and she went to find the ticket in her bag, but the ticket wasn’t there. It was in her jeans’ pocket, and her jeans were in the washing machine. Her jeans were clean and so was the ticket! There were no numbers on it. No numbers – no £35 million!
