Winning would be amazing.

Winning would make everything so much easier.

Winning would make me happy.

Those are some of the thoughts running through my head as I'm paying for another lottery ticket.

Why do they always make it seem so easy?

"Get one and say Arrivederci to all your problems!", oh please.

This elder man has been selling me these tickets for years now, ¿should I know his name by now? Or do we just keep pretending we've never seen eachother before? 

Larry. From now on, I'm calling him Larry. At least in my mind.

Larry always gives us a receipt after paying, he doesn't care if you want it or not, you're getting it. And right outside the door, you can always find all of them covering the floor, with the exception of a few that actually make it to the bin right in front of the door.

A orange receipt catches my attencion. Orange? All receipts all printed on white paper.

Some idiot must've thrown out their loterry ticket instead of their receipt. Looks like it is my lucky day.
