A YOUNG WOMAN believes she was fired from her job selling lottery tickets after she enquired why she had not received a bonus cheque of $1 000 from Barbados Lotteries after she sold a winning Mega 6 ticket.

The 22-year-old, who worked at a lottery booth in Bridgetown operated by a husband and wife team, said she sold the $412 502 jackpot ticket for the New Year’s Day draw.

However, she complained that she was given only $250 by her bosses.

“I found out that the ticket had won and when I made some enquiries, I found out that it was purchased from our booth on Wednesday, December 31, at 10 a.m.,” she said. “That is the day that I work because I does work every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.”
