He looked down at his ticket. A match. The next ball; 31. Another match. His heart rate quickened. The third ball; 2. Another match! His eyes widened as he made sure his wife was still in the bathroom.
Fourth ball dropped; 54. Match! He just needed one more! He clutched the ticket. Crossed his fingers and prayed.
“Have you even heard a word I’ve said, Carl?”
Final number; 13. No match. She’s always been bad luck.
