Ann Shaffer was given a lottery ticket from a customer at her
concession stand, and she thought her ship had come in. The single mom

collect her winnings, she realized she'd been had. The ticket read,
"Claim forms supplied by Santa

conform to her game rules ... All winners are losers and must have an
excellent sense of humor." And this is why I detest crappy practical
jokes like this--"sense of humor"? What is that bullshit? I'm with the
patrol officer who examined the ticket, Bear Terstegge (isn't that a

it didn't have a somewhat happy ending.
