💔 A Heartbreaking Appeal From Our Small Business

Hi Everyone, please let us know if you have any information that may help us identify this person.

⚠️ ALL LOTTO OUTLETS—PLEASE BE AWARE ⚠️

This person took seven $20 Lucky Dips and three $30 Lucky Dips without paying and may attempt to present or cash them at another outlet.

As a small local business, we work incredibly hard every day just to keep our doors open. Every loss affects us—Our Family, Our staff and the Little Shop we are trying so Hard to Protect.
It is Heartbreaking and Frustrating to see Someone walk in and take what they want without paying. Small businesses are already doing it tough, and Incidents like this make it even Harder.

If you’re reading this, please return the tickets to our store—no questions asked. We simply want them back.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support and look out for our little local business. ❤️

❤️ Behind Every Smile: A Half-Century of Genuine Care

Alan and Helen have shared a Wonderful Friendship for around 50 years, Beginning During their School days at Invermay Primary School and Continuing through Launceston High School in Paterson Street❤️
Both were Born and Raised in Launceston. Alan Lives near the Units behind the Mowbray pub, while Helen now Lives in Newstead. Before retiring, Alan worked in a Clinical role at the Hospital, while Helen worked as a Laundry assistant.
These days, they Catch up for Morning or afternoon tea twice a week. They enjoy Meeting different people, Looking around at New Houses—and patiently waiting for that Big Lotto win! ☕🏡🍀

Their Friendship is Filled with Genuine Care and Plenty of Laughter. After Helen had a fall, She didn’t want to go to the Hospital that Night, but Alan made sure his Good Friend got there the following Morning. Helen Jokingly calls him her “chauffeur”! 🚗😂

Alan also Loves his whisky—and Helen Laughed that he’s always trying to steal some from Her House! 🥃😂

Their message to Everyone is Simple:

💛 Have a Good Life, Enjoy meeting different People and always Look after your Good Friends.
