on november 13 i selected 6 numbers on a keno slip (6 LD 7 and 0 from 7-37 and 10-40), stuck it into a self-serve machine at a local watering hole during the lunch hour...the machine asked for and was given a ten dollar bill, to play that slip for 10 draws....but, the machine did not spit out a paper response, a ticket....bartender opened machine, was unable to do anything with it, suggested i leave the machine while we had our lunch, she would keep an eye on it....sat outside, watched the draws on the tv screen,saw the numbers come up 3 draws later...ran inside, showed bartender, still no ticket spit out, she suggested if nothing by the time we finished lunch, i would leave her my phone number....some 40 minutes later, bartender came running out, with the ticket in her hand....yeay, i said, let's go validate....tried, but her behind-the-bar-machine was down...no problem, i would validate later....tried, at another location, was shown slip,"not a winner"....whoah, now i called 1-800-bc lottery, they suggested i write a letter, enclosing the ticket, signing it...

thrust of my argument was that once my selection slip and payment had been accepted, we had a valid contract....

turns out that telus phone lines had been on-and-off intermittent,the ticket issued started 40 minutes after i submitted it..

yesterday afternoon, message left on my machine from bc lottery told me cheque was in the mail, they had accepted my claim...

yeay, an honest bookie.......:beer: ...homemade,for the holidays

1.500.00 is fantastic right now considering your dry run recently.
Yea Telus had problems plus their CS or PR has come down thanks to their cutbacks..
I am still waiting for reply for 10 days now !!
