Corey Robinson Photo Street vendor and mother of five, Elaine Taylor, says every dollar she wins from Cash Pot goes directly into putting goods on her small stall or towards her children’s lunch money, but she has not been winning much lately. “It come in like you lose more than how you win nowadays; mi want to boycott it right now,” bemoaned Taylor, as she scrolled down her ‘kent’ – a document made by her showing all the winning Cash Pot numbers for the last six weeks.
