Me:

Can I have £2.50 on my Oyster card and scratch card number 9 please? 

Newsagent:

Sure just put your Oyster card on there. Lottery wasn't it?
Me: 

Err...

Newsagent:

Me:

Thankyou. Can I have scratch card 9 please?

The next day.

Me:

Hey, do you know what the Lotto numbers were for last night?
Newsagent:
Sure, here they are.

*Interlude as I check the numbers*

Me:
I think I got three numbers!

Newsagent:
Congratulations!!

*Produces crisp ten pound note*

The lesson: sometimes, just go with it.
