Man, must be my lucky day! Yippeee...

Oh wait...the dumbass sent me this letter, dated Nov 15th, 2005. The draw TOOK place on November 29th, 2005. In order to claim my prize I had to respond by the deadline of Sept 30th, 2005. Sooo...lemme get this straight...I had to claim my prize 2 months before the numbers were actually drawn and I wasn't told about any of this until a month and a half AFTER the deadline, but the draw isn't for another 2 weeks?

Now all I need is a Delorean loaded with a flux capacitor and I can go (BACK TO?) the future, ensure my numbers were drawn, then go back to Sept 29th and send in a claim for my prize...

You think I could sue this Mr Collins Smith guy?
