DUNEDIN. May 9. “Mr Cottle? Congratulations." Silence for a moment. Then: "Why?" This was the opening of a telephone conversation this morning with Mr N. S. Cottle, a car dealer, of 52 Earls road, who today won £ 12.000 in the Golden Kiwi Lottery No. 97. In the background the telephone was hastily dropped —could be heard: "Where’s that lottery ticket?" "'Ticket number 137104. is that right?” He was assured that it was right. “And this is dead serious?" Indeed it was. “Well!’’ With this understatement, a much richer Mr Cottle announced that he was then leaving for work.
