Not money but 3 scratch-off lottery tickets. Will I win anything ? Let's see.

Ticket #1 Top prize is £100,000

*Scratch. Scratch. Scratch.*

No. Not got 3 matching numbers.

Ticket #2 Top prize is £9,000

*Scratch. Scratch. Scratch.*

That's better, 3 matching £1 numbers.

Ticket #3 Top prize is £7,777

*Scratch. Scratch. Scratch.*

Another fail. So that's it. My total tips for 2009 is £1.
Always look on the bright side of life you cannot be corrupted by money and greed like those above if you do not taste greed in the first place!.

Try giving it back and they'll make you feel like crap, I know the ones who can afford it and those who can't but it usually seems to be those who can least afford it that actually tip you (and get offended if you try to say no).
