 The lotto here was sold in group tickets, like 5 on one ticket
 or somesuch. One of the managers where I work would buy them,
 then fill in the numbers for a regular set of numbers he played.

 One day he was filling them in at his desk, when he got called
 away. He never got back to filling out the ticket.

 He would have won something like 1/4 of $26 mill.

 You know he never heard the end of that.
