This is just a great story, told best by Michael McIntee at the Wahoo Gazette:

HEY! I won $100,000 this weekend! Yup, me and thousands of other New Yorkers. The New York Daily News has been running a scratch-and-match rub-off lottery game for the past month or so. The game consists of numbers 1-15. Each day, the newspaper instructs you to rub off 8 of those numbers. Underneath the scratch-off is a dollar amount between $25 and $100,000. If you rub off three of the same amount, you win that total. So Saturday, the New York Daily News told to rub off numbers 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, and 15. Underneath my numbers 5, 10, and 13 was the dollar amount of $100,000. I won $100,000! And then on Sunday, the Daily News said “Ooops.” Instead of telling us to rub off #13, the Daily News says they should have instructed us to rub off #12. So, no, I didn’t win $100,000. The Daily News reports they received 3,000 excited phone calls on Saturday to announce they had the winning $100,000 ticket. Then on Sunday they reported they received 3,000 excited phone calls from lawyers.
