THE excitement for the next Super 5 draw is already heating up as some players have already bought their tickets for today's draw which could win them a jackpot of no less than € 900,000. The ultimate question remains; what would anyone do with such a for- tune? Previous winners had different projects on how they planned to spend their winnings. One winner decided to pay in cash his newly bought house, whilst another winner decided to trav- el around the world for a whole year. The game has always been amongst the most popular ones with the Mal- tese players. Many players prefer to choose their own numbers when playing, which normally signify some important events in their lives or the dates of recent national events, others chose to buy a quick pick ticket where the numbers are automatically gen- erated by the system in the Points of Sale. Super 5 is a game of chance in which 5 numbers are randomly drawn from a field of numbers from 1 to 45. Any- one guessing 3 or more numbers can be a winner. Super 5 is drawn every Wednesday at 19:10hrs and is broad- casted live on One TV, Net TV, Melita Digital channel 106 and on Maltco's website: www.maltco.com Players can buy their ticket up to 1 hour before the draw. For further in- formation one can call either the Hel- pline Centre on 23883333 or visit the company's website. THE Grassy Hopper, a young local start-up company, has launched its Valletta outlet. Their mobile kiosk in Ta' Xbiex has become popular with people working in the area, serving up freshly made soups, salads, wraps and veggie burgers. Seeing the demand for healthy meals in the workplace, The Grassy Hopper decided to expand their serv- ice to Valletta. They bring a fun and light feel to choosing to eat healthily, from fresh wheatgrass shots to their hugely popular vegetarian burgers. The difference with The Grassy Hopper is not just in the quality and substance of their food, but in the general values and ethics they are choosing to uphold. They regularly donate their lefto- vers to the YMCA's homeless shelter, helping to support community meals for 30 people. They are also pioneering the intro- duction of compostable take-away packaging, with their use of packag- ing made from sustainably-sourced corn starch which becomes soil in 9-12 weeks. If you want to eat healthier, but find it too much hassle, visit The Grassy Hopper and see if eating healthily is a lot more easy, fun and tasty then you thought.
