Nine year old daughter
We are at the corner shop and I buy a lottery ticket
I give her the ticket when we get home and ask her to check the numbers when the draw comes on the TV. She's keen, gets a pen, asks me what time its on etc
and I forget all about it
a bit later she comes into the other room where I am and drops a lottery ticket, torn into 40 or so small pieces into my lap
"why?" I ask, perplexed
"I missed the programme" she says "so we can't have won"
