PC Show lucky draw results weird
I NOTICED a strange phenomenon in the lucky draw results of the PC Show 2007, published in The Straits Times on June 8.

The 32nd and 33rd prizes went to the same name, and the last four alphanumeric digits of the NRIC number are the same. This also happened to the 42nd and 44th prizes, 84th and 85th prizes as well as the 87th and 88th prizes.

The possibility of a person to win a lucky draw is very slim, given the large number of consumers in the show, yet there are so many people appearing to win two prizes.

This is somewhat disappointing.
