Stroke of luck?

Airtel used to ran a campaign of guessing the score of innings. If you predict correctly then you would supposedly get a sum of [score] x 300 INR. On August 24, 2007, Ind Vs Eng, 2nd ODI, when India started batting, just for the heck of it, I predict that we would score 329 and send the msg to 8888. I soon got a reply from 8888, "this service is temporarily unavailable". I didnt bother till the end of 1st innings, when India scored exactly 329. Now, 329 x 300 = 98,700!!! But ofcourse I can never hold Airtel accountable because of the unavailable service disclaimer!! Someone up there, didn't want me to get the money! tch!
