(Khi Martyn Tott biết rằng anh ấy đã thắng xổ số, anh ấy dĩ nhiên là rất vui mừng. Anh ấy đã mua tờ vé số này hàng tháng trời trước đó ở sạp báo địa phương. Anh ấy chưa kiểm tra những con số ngay lập tức, nhung anh ấy biết anh ấy đã thắng vì anh ấy luôn chọn 6 con số giống nhau. Nhưng có một vấn đề xảy ra. Anh ấy đã làm mất tờ vé số! Bản ghi của Martyn Tott đã chứng mình anh ấy thắng, nhưng công ty xổ số đã từ chối trả tiền khi không có tờ vé số. Hai năm sau, anh ấy gần như không có một xu dính túi. Anh ấy đã kiện công ty vé số, nhưng đã thua kiện. Anh ấy nói rằng anh ước mình chưa từng chơi vé số!)
