• Have you ever won anything?
• What would you do if you found a lottery ticket and it won a prize? Would you collect the money? Would you return the money to its owner?
• Do you know any good "lottery" stories?
• Yes, sometimes I buy a lottery tickets.
• If somebody think that marriage is a lottery I won two nice children.
• That depends. If the owner is poor I return the ticket, if he is rich I think more about it, maybe I convince him to make a kindness.
• I don’t know a really story about lottery but I read a story by Ion Luca Caragiale, a Romanian novelist. His opera is in general humorous. The story is called “Two tickets”. The personage is very, very common. He is pen pusher not young but either old, not handsome but either ugly, not smart but either brainless. He had a insipid life. In a day he was in a pub and encourage by a friend he bought two tickets of two different lottery. Friends noted the series of tickets. After some time, the friends announced him that he win at both lottery. He didn’t believe them. The problem was that didn’t find the tickets. Nobody announced the winner tickets. After some funny adventures he found the ticket. He went with some friends to the bank to collect the money. The clerk verified the tickets and found a problem. The series was good but they was reversed. The series was good but to either lottery. He madden a little and said frequently “and reverse” the last words of clerk.
