Lottery results
Sir, —I wonder just what the management of Golden Kiwi Lotteries hopes to achieve with the new system of publishing the results of draws. Time was when one could open up Saturday’s paper and check for one’s self if a ticket had struck it, even a lowly $2O prize. Not today, though. Now one must away to the ticket seller to check a ticket. Let us face it, nobody will trust a computer to the extent of getting a prize posted out “automatically.” Is the management trying to save on advertising space? I will warrant that the advertisements of “Kiwi” No. 10, and “Encore Go Kiwi 3 X 3” in today’s “Press,” are as big as, if not bigger than the old style. On top of this, two ticket sellers from whom I buy, are already “browned off” by the number of people coming in to check if they had won anything. The lotteries people were afraid that Lotto would cut the sales of tickets. Keep up this silly customerannoying idea, and they will be out of business. — Yours, etc., J. E. EDER. March 5, 1988.
