Talk of the Towns: Close, but no cigar
A few years back we had such a laugh when my grandfather thought that we’d won the lotto.

A weekend highlight that I just had to share – I was waiting in line at a local garage when two elderly women came in to purchase lotto tickets.
Note the plural TICKETS because I simply could not keep count of how many tickets they bought with giant wads of cash.
I’ve never actually bought a lotto ticket or even considered trying my luck because I feel it’s a waste of money unless you win, and the chances of that are very slim.
It would be amazing to be a lotto winner though.
A few years back we had such a laugh when my grandfather thought that we’d won the lotto.
I was getting ready for school when I heard the screams of excitement.
All I saw on the actual ticket was a good couple of zeroes and heard something like “R20 or R30 million” being shouted out repeatedly.
Just as everyone said that they were going to quit their jobs, my grandfather realised that he had been comparing the winning numbers with a ticket he had bought for the previous week’s draw!
Talk about bad luck.
It was beyond disappointing, but hilarious at the same time.
