This is funny ...
- Since 2009, he had collected $20 each week from his co-workers at transport company Toll and purchased Powerball tickets on behalf of the syndicate
- A day after a $50 million prize was drawn on October 16 last year by three winners, he called in sick to work
- Told his co-workers they hadn't won
- Told a former colleague that he had received a significant inheritance
But the syndicate became suspicious, when five days after the draw TattsLotto hired a Toll courier to deliver champagne to Mr Baron's address. The Toll workers were aware that Tatts had a practice of sending a congratulatory bottle of champagne to major prize winners
Got that?
The company where he formerly worked was hired by the lottery company to deliver a congratulations bottle of champagne to him.
Bummer .... :-D
