[MoC] Lottery 1 results

Day 2,000, 12:30 Published in Ireland Ireland by Liam Tatlock

The week one results follow. The uptake wasn't as great as I would have hoped, but Rome wasn't built in a day, or so I'm told, not having been there. There were five entrants who bought a total of 23 numbers between them, though, surprisingly, only one number was bought by more than one person. Even more oddly, the winning number was the lowest number possible to buy and that was chosen by Winston Hope Smith, who wins the 230 IEP prize, which will be on it's way to him shortly.



Details of the next competition will be up tomorrow, which is likely to be a more traditional lottery. Thanks to those who entered.

A burglar breaks into a house where he sees a computer that he wants so he takes it. Then he hears a voice saying "Jesus is watching you". He looks around with his flashlight wondering "What on earth was that?". He then spots some money on a table and takes it. Once again he hears a voice "Jesus is watching you". He hides in a corner trying to find where the voice came from and spots a birdcage with a parrot in it. He goes over and asks "Was that your voice?". "Yes", the bird replies. The burglar then says "What's your name?" to which the parrot replies "Moses". "What kind of person names his bird Moses?", asks the intruder to which the parrot replies "The same person that names his rottweiler "Jesus"".
