Re-vote: the Florida Lotto Ticket

Dear Lt. Governor:

Last Saturday, I purchased a Florida Lotto ticket at a local convenience store.

That night I watched the Lotto result on TV, then I checked my ticket. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the numbers I had chosen on my ticket did not match the winning numbers!! I had intended to pick the winning numbers, but I had made a mistake on my ticket. I have contacted a lawyer and, because my intent to pick the winning numbers was genuine, he says I have a case.

In light of this turn of events, I am requesting that you go ahead and send me the money I am owed. Your cooperation in this unfortunate incident is appreciated.

Sincerely,
Honest Citizen
