16 Tin. - Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc. June 11, 1986 What's Your Beef? by Catherine Denny LOTTERY LET-DOWN The guys who make up those scratch-and-win lottery lottery tickets don't have a very good sense of humour at all. Try as I might I just can't convince mysclfthatthcrc's a laughable side to going through the trauma of finally finally locating a card with three matching numbers (the object of thegame) only to find that the "grand prize" is another dud ticket. Maybe I'm just unlucky, bull could swear those guys in the lottery factory purposely purposely print a winning combination combination only on the cards that have a crummy jackpot. They probably get a kick out of raising people's blood pressure, speeding up our pulse and getting the old adrenaline adrenaline flowing with visions visions of collecting millions --just to find out we haven't won enough to cover our lottery lottery expenses for a week. Hilarious. One woman who recently phoned in didn't think it was so funny. Last week, she found herself literally jumping for joy in a local drug store because she'd at long last found three 9's on the same ticket -- she had WON. The sad part came when she unveiled the verdict with her fingernail and, expecting expecting to find anywhere from $1000 to $10,000, went home the unhappy and embarrassed embarrassed owner of a brand new free ticket. Why can't they cut out all this nonsense of scratching and matching and just come right out and say you're a loser. Why prolong the agony? KID INVADERS Why can't toy manufacturers manufacturers make "fakes" look a bit more like the originals. Let's face it, Cabbage Patch phonics, Smurf look- alikes and no-name brand He-Man sets just don't cut the mustard with keen-eyed brats who'd rather see their poor parents go to the poor house than skip to school with anything less than the "real thing." It's not that people enjoy trying to pass off a fake for an original but nobody actually actually likes dipping into their wallets to the tune of $40 either. So, until someome comes up with a line of toys identical identical to the real-thing, we poor suckers will continue to be stiffed. If you would like to voice a personal "beef" please call Catherine at 623-3303.
