Doris Junkin, presented a Wintario ticket which purported to bear the bonus number I12658490 which was efigible fou a S 10,000 puize. On dloser examination of the ticket by a member of -our staff, it appeared that the last two digits had been altered and that number actually imprint- ed on the ticket was 12658419. Mrs. Junkin, who is an elderly person and appeared to be 4 confused, was advised of' this, the ticket was returned to her and she left. Later in the'day, the valid ticket number 12658490 was presented by Mrs. Gertrude Cremers of Barrie, Ontario. it was authenticated bY British American Banknotc, our sccurity printer and the S 10,000 prize was paid.
