Lotto Blues

Hey, Mr Government Man - Person - I'm losing money and people are suffering for it, because of your indecision over the National Lottery Board.

Okay, I haven't actually won anything yet - ever - not even a little bit - but I have DREAMS, don't I ? Usually. But not now.

Every week, twice a week, I go through the painstaking decision process of who will get what when I win the Lotto. I figure it all out, including Trust Funds, donations, balanced investment portfolios; I search the property sections for sound buys that fit into that draw's budget. You have no idea how many people have benefitted over the years, albeit in my private world of good intentions.

Now I don't even have hope. Neither do they. And it BUGS me!

More importantly, there are numerous organizations that are supposed to benefit from the lottery - and it's not happening. Your indecision is depriving desperate organizations from help they deserve and should be receiving.

I know that it can be extremely difficult at times to find suitable companies or organizations to run it that DON'T have some or other government official on their board, or at least with a finger in the pie, but if you are that desperate - hey, I am willing to sacrifice myself for the good of the nation. I'll run it for you if I have to. BUT GET IT GOING AGAIN !

If you can't get it right, just speak to Trevor - (tell him I referred you to him) - and I'm sure he'll sort it out for you very quickly.

Oh, and when you do get it right, I hope that the first one will be the biggest guaranteed amount ever. I have a lot of people to make up to for the lost opportunities.
