Win

A friend of mine had played the Swisslotto. He then went to a kiosk to check whether he won or not (a strategy I myself apply when I play, since I cannot be bothered to check the numbers on the net or in a newspaper). He was told the winnings were too big to pay out then and there in cash. Imagine his joy!

Guess how much he won? 51 CHF. Apparently the limit for not paying taxes on the winnings is 50 CHF. So he ended up having to pay 30% in tax on his 51 CHF! F...ing Swiss. Sometimes they are just too much!
