Lottery Ticket .....

Some time aback i bought a lottery ticket ......... i paid for a five dollar bet with a ten dollar bill ..... the last cash i had on me for the day.... and put the change as well as the ticket in the same pocket.

The date of the draw had passed and I ....... not really being a betting man ...... had not checked the ticket. I still had the five dollars as well as the lottery ticket in the same pocket.

Stopping at traffic light at night, and seeing a familiar bum who usually solicited there, i decided to give the bum my 5 dollar change. Because, of course, charity is supposed to bring good luck !

I reached into my pocket quickly grabbed my five note gave it to the bum.... who quickly vanished into the night.

After reaching home and excitedly deciding to actually check my lottery ticket ....... i reached into my pocket grabbed what was there and pulled out ..... a five dollar note ...........

I accidentally gave away my ticket ...

I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BUM AGAIN !! ..............
