Dear Editor,

The Guyana Lottery Company might need to consider the following, for I believe that with a positive outcome, they will see many more smiling faces from patrons of the lottery and eventually will see a major boost in sales.

The next time there is an unclaimed prize worth many millions, consideration should be given to have a wider selection of winners. That is, if the prize is worth ten million and one could get 25 motor scooters, 25 plasma TVs and 50 irons for that sum, it would simply mean that 100 persons could get back something rather than only a limited number sharing the booty.

Just tell me which nurse or teacher wouldn’t welcome such a prize, which in the case of a motor scooter could help tremendously with transportation.

Yours faithfully,
T Pemberton
