"Scratch cards only?" Heike echoed the sales assistant with a frown. How could you call it a lottery if you didn't have the option of picking your numbers? After typing his blog, Heike wasn't sure it was the fact that the people of the city were clumsy. The landlord had came to see him, apparently there was one or two problems with light bulbs and a crack in one of the windows that had suppose to of been dealt with before his arrival but his contractors had failed to arrive

With his prize achieved Kai did a literal victory dance where he stood in front of God and everyone, pausing only to take that painful first sip of the scalding liquid, uncaring of how it scorched and burned his throat on it's merciless path down. "Oh God, this is beautiful. This is just.."

Then he noticed the teen beside him, the clerk staring at him, and he thought that perhaps he should stop his shenanigans.

... Then he remembered that he didn't give a damn and promptly carried on.

"Hey, thanks for letting me get my coffee first," Kai turned to Heike with a grin. "It's been a bit of a rough spot here today. You lookin' at doing the lottery? Do those actually even work? I've never managed to get anything when I've tried."

Nothing was happening. Heike stared at Kai in disbelief. Surely something must happen by now, be it the coffee spilled or the drink itself was simply rank. Then again, if it was rank the guy's sheer desperation for a cup of coffee might of overrode that bit of 'luck'.

"Ah, no problem." Heike said, glancing at Kai then at the rows of scratch cards and back again. "Yes. I feel...lucky, very lucky." He explained, frowning. "Do you know which one is the best?" He asked, "I have never it done it this way way before." He gave a nervous glance the sales assistant who was starting to look rather exasperated at the pair of them.

He spared himself another sip before he made his reply, that dull ache in the back of his jaw a faint memory of the burning glory that was blessed caffeine. "Ah, I've never done it here in America, but.. I think most popular one is the one where you pick numbers," Kai explained, and pointed it out to his companion. "The Mega Million is a statewide contest that draws from a big jackpot. All the money collected from buying tickets is plugged right back into the public school system, so it's for a good cause!"

He paused and thought about what he had said for a moment. And realized that perhaps he was watching a bit too much television to know that much about the lottery.

No matter.

"You kind of just have to guess numbers for it, though. A lot of people use birthdates or lucky numbers."
