It had been a long year for me. I was tired and wanted to go on a vacation somewhere far away. But my finances would not allow it. But I was feeling lucky that day. So I went out and bought lottery tickets. I went back home and sat on my bed with them. I said a little prayer and slowly scratched on them. I had bought different tickets from different lotteries to increase my odds. I planned to check the results later online. I had my laptop ready so that I could check everything from the comfort of my bedroom.
