Read a story the other day about a woman who bought a scratchcard and was too stupid to relaise she hadn't won. The Cool Cash card had to be withdrawn because a number of players didn't realise if they'd won or lost.

The concept is simple. Scratch windows to reveal a temprature that was lower than the one displayed on the card to win some cash. I leave it to the idiot to explain her confusion:
"On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't. I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it."
Seriously now, she and the shop owner think -6 is lower than -8.

Reminds me of this woman on Millionnaire once. Yes that's right....an Elephant is bigger than the Moon. Go home, do not collect £500.
