Lottery, Lottery

“Can’tsay it. You could get lucky.”I looked at him dispassionately. “You could get lucky, can’t say it.”I looked outside of the window of the bus. “Sir, take one, you could get lucky, can’t say it.”“Brother, if you can’t say I can get lucky, why should I take it?” finally, I spoke back to the lottery seller.
