The costs of keeping the time machine going are starting to take their toll on Turner. So to help her out Slade devises a plan to
win the lottery and thus solve all her money worries. Turner isn't convinced
as time won't let you cheat, however Slade has found a loop hole! He will wait to find out what the numbers are, and travel back
in time, tell Holly who then buys a ticket and collects the money. As he himself isn't buying the ticket no paradox can occur. Some
what convinced Turner agrees to let him try.
Slade goes back in time, and try as he does, he can not get the winning numbers to Turner in time. Either she doesn't answer
the phone, her fax machine has run out of paper, or she wipes her notice board without looking at it. A note is covered by a tray,
or a portable phone has a dead battery! To make matters worse, as he leaves the office (as he is supposed to be on a training
course!) Grisham, stops him and puts him on a bank robbery case. A case which if the culprits aren't caught and the gold returned
could cost her, her job.
In the end Slade is left with no choice but to get Nicky to buy a lottery ticket for him, which he does. However he mis-reads
the numbers Slade gave him, and only gets four numbers right out of the six. Winning only £186 instead of a share of the jackpot.
