Long lines as gaming house hands out care packages

A gaming house handed out care packages to customers affected by COVID-19 on Wednesday.

Long lines of cars stretched back from the distribution centre as A Sure Winn gave out one package per valid customer card.

The event was held as a drive-through to minimise contact.

In a statement after the event on social media, A Sure Win thanked customers for the "overwhelming turnout", saying: "Hundreds of you participated in this wonderful exercise of neighbourly support."

The statement added: "As a company, we feel it is our duty to support our customers, team members and our wider community through efforts like this. We will continue to provide this kind of support as our resources allow and we thank our team members for helping make this special day possible for our customers."

Can you imagine a web shop saying it's their duty to support their customers when for years their real duty has all along been to get their customers hooked on highly addictive gambling so that they could be mercilessly fleeced?!!

Once again the people are getting hoodwinked into thinking these numbers guys are the answer. Are people that short sighted they can't see the deception. It's totally self serving, masquerading as do-gooders.

what did the so called "care package" contain?
Why does the Tribune place such a stupid, non-informative article at all? What did the number houses give out??
