I actually did have the winning six Lottery Numbers - 5 numbers + the supplementary. I called my family delirious with glee - all those paid mortgages and college tuitions. Went to the store where I bought the ticket and told Mr. Kim of my luck.

He was almost in tears when he had to tell me that they had changed the rules two weeks earlier. Five numbers plus the supplementary no longer won first prize. I ended up with a couple of thousand but not the multi-millions the day started out with.

On the other hand, the ex-king of some small African country is transferring millions into my bank account AS WE SPEAK. Poor guy needed a reliable friend to handle the transaction and I was recommended.
