The following email I received may be of interest to those of you depending on a winning lottery ticket to finance the purchase of Coquille?

Dear State Lottery Commission,

I know I chose the winning numbers for Wednesday's Lotto drawing.

But upon further review, it appears the incorrect numbers appeared on my
ticket. How could this happen? The root cause of this dilemma is the
form I filled out to get my ticket. The form is very confusing. I
thought I was choosing one set of numbers, (the winning numbers), when
in
reality I chose a completely different set of numbers. The numbers and
boxes on the form are so close together, it's impossible to determine
which box to fill in for which number.

I checked with at least 3,000 other people, and they all had the exact
same problem. I'm sure if you review the form I filled out, it will
become very clear that I'm entitled to the money from Wednesday's
drawing.

Please reply with the date, time, and location, for me to collect the
winnings due to me.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Al Gore
