A few weeks ago at a golf club in Yishun, a member walked in, fretting that an unknown person had knocked into his car, denting it. Instantly, several fellow members asked for his car plate details to buy 4-D tickets with the matching number.

As it turned out, they struck a winner, a consolation prize paying out more than $6,000 which four members duly shared. Separately, the owner of the other vehicle turned up, offering to pay for the repairs. This had been one lucky day, agreed the member's friends.
