Carters number was astonishingly drawn out again last night but many onlookers were left puzzled by Carters half hearted attempt to remove the padlock.
Carter was unsuccessful in opening the box and appeared to wink at Bar maid Patsy Willman as if he was happy to have only won the four free drinks for his team.
“I am very angry” growled Mulhall.
“His reaction to the result of the box was ridiculous.”
“he’s done it before and I know exactly what he’s up to!”
Mulhall was referring to the previous jackpot which was won by Carter on his own when Mulhall was holidaying in warmer climes.
Carter who had already attempted to open that box when Mulhall was in attendance was accused by many of deliberately picking the wrong key so he could collect the money at a later date when he knew Mulhall wasn’t going to be there. A crime that Carter later admitted to be true.
Mulhall continued “It does appear that he’s bending the rules again slightly but I can assure him I will not be missing training until this box is opened!”
“I don’t know what it is that he and Patsy have agreed on but I will not let him get away with my share of the money this time!”
Carter had few words in reply for his syndicate partner but indicated that he would be very surprised if Mulhall was complaining on Sunday when he is tucking into his second pint of Becks that his ticket had won him.
Angry times for C@&MOLE
