Yeah, maybe you should try all uppercase. Then you can get your posts passed - all in the black. :^)

Spaniard may be buried with prize lotto ticket Copyright c 1998 Nando.net Copyright c 1998 Reuters News Service MADRID (February 4, 1998 7:25 p.m. EST nando.net) - A Spanish man may have taken his winning lottery ticket with him to the grave. Relatives of Juan Villasante Paz said in an interview published on Wednesday that they believed he had the ticket on him when he died of a heart attack two hours before the draw on Jan. 26. Villasante's niece Maria Antonia Alonsa told the daily El Pais the family had been unable to find the winning ticket, worth $32,500. "It was either stolen or buried with him," Alonsa said. "The ticket has to appear. I don't think it went to heaven with my uncle," she said. Villasante, 76, was a street sweeper in the northern Spanish region of Galicia until he retired. Alonsa works as a cleaning lady, earning about $3 an hour. Villasante died of a heart attack while he was on the way to a doctor to treat a heart problem discovered days earlier. He was buried in the same suit he was wearing the day he bought the ticket in a bar. But the ticket was not in the bag of personal effects given to the family by the funeral home and an employee told El Pais it was not in his pockets. Alonsa has asked a judge to investigate the missing ticket and question all those who came in contact with Villasante on the day he died. In the meantime, the family has also asked police to guard his grave for fear looters may come looking for buried treasure, Spanish state radio reported. No chance, of course, that the funeral employees could have lifted it I suppose?
