The purpose of the seminar will be the acquisition of experience in covering the Athens 2004 Olympiad.

[02] Joker-OPAP-Winner

The Soccer Pools Organisation (OPAP) announced it will be delivering a cheque for three billion drachmas to the winner of the Joker Christmas draw at noon on Monday, without it being certain the winner will appear in person.

It is almost certain that the cheque will be received by a representative of the winner who, as it is already known, played a system for 1,500 drachmas prepared by George Petropoulos' agency on the island of Tinos.
