Letter: Letters : What a coincidence!

Published 28 February 1998

From Gary McCourty

Eaton, Cheshire

I was struck by the amazing coincidence described by two readers of two
premium bond wins arriving in the post at the same time as an issue of New
Scientist that contained an article on amazing coincidences
(Feedback, 7 February).

As further evidence, I purchase my copy of New Scientist from the
newsagent down the road rather than by subscription and have yet to receive a
letter informing me of a premium bond win.

I have therefore sent my subscription request to you by first-class mail and
ask that you inform Ernie upon receipt of the altered probability of my winning.
