UNFORTUNATE MISTAKE

A man in England committed suicide by shooting himself in the head, because he found out he hadn't won the National Lottery, when he thought he had. The 28-year-old man believed he had chosen all six of the numbers drawn in that weeks lottery, entitling him to a share in the grand prize of £4.8 million. Then he discovered that he hadn't paid for his numbers that week. His dreams shattered, the man took his life. Police investigated the facts, and discovered that the unfortunate man had made two mistakes, rather than one - only four of his regular numbers had been selected in the draw, not all six, so the poor man killed himself because he didn't win £82!
