Luck tide in at Richmond
PA Nelson A Richmond couple, Don and Raye Scott, have proved that fortune can smile twice in the same place. Several weeks ago, Mr Scott won $2O in the Golden Kiwi lottery. Yesterday he learnt that his ticket, “Ds syndicate”, had gathered in the first prize of $lOO,OOO in yesterday’s lottery draw. Many of the staff at a Nelson engineering firm were unaware that Mr Scott, a wages clerk, had received an unexpected bonus as he distributed the weekly wage packets. “I’ve been buying Golden Kiwi tickets for a long time — for about as long as there have been Golden Kiwis,”
he said. A few years ago he won $lOO, followel by the recent win of $2O.
“11l get the motey in my hand before I nake any firm plans about tie future. You have to give these things a bit of thought — it’s a lot of money after all. We’ll have to sit around the table and think things through,” Mr Scott said. Would the couple be celebrating immediate!]? “I don’t think so. 11l probably watch TV this evening — but I’m thinking about taking this afternom off,” Mr Scott replied. Meanwhile, his wife was still absorbing the ntws. “I can’t quite believe it ... I’ve always grouled at him when he’s spent money to buy Golden Kiwi tickets,” Mrs Scott said.
