Default The lucky lass of Splott

I remember hearing hearing a story from one of the older players down the Canton Castle about a women who'd always win the snowball games in the old Splott Bingo - apparently she was legendary. I don't know her name.

But it turns out she was cheating, this was in the days before the computers and they had the blowers and the manual check backs. Turns out what she was doing was altering the numbers on her ticket with a black marker to get her down quickly.

If 48 came out, and she had 43, she'd change it to 48 then really heavily cross it out. Apparently she had the snowball so many times she was nick named snowball lil or something. She got away with it for years.
