Original Toronto Star caption: Showing how he can tell what number and series are printed on Wintario lottery tickets without opening the sealed packages; Bob Good-day lines up envelopes so the printing on them Matches as Anna Walzak; 21; watches him. The danger is that a distributor could search unsold tickets after a draw and pick a winner.
