Lucky lotto stores
There’s a Herald story about lotto wins. It has a sub-headline ‘Luckiest’ Lotto stores in New Zealand
The story admits that Lotto has stopped pretending ‘lucky’ stores exist:
Certain Lotto stores have long been tipped as being “luckier” than others, although Lotto previously stopped promoting this in its press releases after it was criticised by academics for misleading customers.
As you’ll know, other academics (ahem) also criticised them for misleading consumers.
The Herald then goes on to give us a list of ‘luckiest’ stores.
