      <description><![CDATA[starchild_45, squeeze that Kiwi.  that made me laugh.  But merchants have a quick hand too!  Some will get ya if they can.  A cashier was talking real fast to my daughter one day and making sure she kept my daughter focused on lookiing at her face and she gave my daughter a bogus total and I saw my daughter giving her the money (I was about twenty-five feet away) and did I run to the counter.  She had gotten my daughter's money and was about to give her an incorrect amount of change.  Of course]]></description>

We will see but I'm not holding my breath.However Pauline, the part of the story with regards to the winner double-checking his ticket, was slightly misleading.Apparently, he knew that his ticket had won a prize but did not know the exact amount of the payout.  After he was paid out, he checked the official results and discovered the... [&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lotterypost.com/news/122727/479173">More</a>&nbsp;]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[NZ may be a great place, but they took a hit on this one.  Wouldn't worry, some other merchant will rip off some one this afternoon, in another part of the world, and the focus will change.
