Geocache Description:

The 7th in iamapom's "Melbourne's Lanes" series - highlighting all the cool, weird, and funky backstreets that Melbourne is so well known for.

This is Tattersalls Lane - which runs between Little Bourke, and Lonsdale around Swanston ish.

Tattersalls is also the name of one of the lottery system/services giving remote financial hope to the masses of Victoria. "When I win Tattslotto I will.... etc etc etc etc."

Having said that, a recent sydicate division 2 did pay for a large boozy 40th birthday party of mine! So it's not all bad.

The cache is the usual magnetic type. *****Please don't divulge it's specific nature of the cache container in the log, as that will vex one greatly*****

You don't need to do the puzzle below to find the cache .... however it will help.

Find the numbers associated with each question (you will need to use the interwebs) - find the corresponding letter of the alphabet or just use the number (as indicated) - that will form 4 letters and number - which when re-arranged are a direct link to the cache.

Character 1 - **find the letter** Super 7's Oz Lotto - Draw 866 21/09/2010 - the first supp number (its not 40)
Character 2 - **find the letter** Tattslotto - Draw 3043 - 18/9/2010 - 4th number drawn - between 31 and 7
Character 3 - **find the number** Powerball 23/9/2010 Draw number 749 - 186170 people each won $13.60 - but in which division ?
Character 4 - exactly the same as Character 3.
