Raffles.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I can’t remember the rest.

I had fun.

They asked me to try lotto, but I never did.

Just Facebook. And radio.

Was just testing – for work. Really.

Then I had fun.

I don’t believe in luck.

Even the ‘unluckiest’ people can win.

But don’t win small stuffs and lose the big ones.

Better to win both.

Or just win one, and that’s enough.

I was won.

Life is good. Enjoy the little things.

No further message.

Just fun.

Read between the lines.
