You've Won the Lottery

Well we all know that "You've Won" emails go straight to the spam folder. But in Sydney, Australia that attitude could have cost one lucky lady $40 million. She failed to log her telephone number on her entry. She'd heard on the radio that a winner was in western Sydney. She told her husband they weren't in western Sydney and he told her they were. She also told her husband they couldn't be lucky enough to win $40 million and he asked why not? Finally she looked and saw that her numbers did win. She checked her spam folder, and there was her notice from the real lottery authorities who had been trying to contact her.

It just goes to show you, that these notices are not all spam. And hey, looky there, I just won three lotteries. Funny, I don't remember entering any of these, especially the ones in the UK.

I still believe my chances of putting a real winning notice in my spam box is higher than my chances of winning in the first place.
