Driven to the Cash Machine At Gun-point

Well not quite, but by the time my daughter had finished it felt like it.
"Dad, you know I have a big insurance cheque coming?" (Some idiot post office driver wrote her motor off while it was stationary, and the cheque is more than adequate to replace the car).
"Yes?"
"Can you lend me some money and I'll pay you back when the cheque arrives?"
"Wot? More? Here's a tenner" Shows empty wallet.
"Do you need anything from the shop?"
"Some cigarette filters?"
"Well get in my flash courtesy car (Golf TDi), and I'll drive you to the shop. There's a cash machine there".
"Why do I need a cash machine?"
"Because I need some more money"
"Ah"
One brief whiteknuckle ride later, I am shorn of more cash, as she predicted.

Great prediction! Can you ask her what Saturday's lottery numbers will be?
