Cents To Pence, But Does It Make Sense?

 I received a final warning email from Draft Kings a few days ago.

As noted sometime last year, the fantasy sports giant is closing down operations in the UK. Its email was to say I had money in my account and it to be withdrawn ASAP.

I thought I had - well, I know I had - withdrawn the little money I had in the account as soon as I knew of the departure. I checked again.

Somewhere along the line, I must have missed twenty-two Cents. 

Not wanting to leave any money left, I went to cash out. That didn't work. The minimum withdrawal limit is $1. 

'Sod it,' I thought. 'I'm not going to chase up twenty-two Cents.'

I tried an online converter to see how much I'm missing in my money. The result came back 22p. I wasn't so sure about that, so asked AI to help me.

Grok came up with 17p. 

17p

That sounds about right.

It makes my decision not to chase it up even more justified.

I'd rather waste my time writing a blog post about it!
