Always keep an eye on your game tickets

Even on vacation, the husband always has carefully put his gambling receipts in his wallet. He decides to put them away, to sort them and notices one of them with two important numbers for him. Intrigued, he checks the results on his phone and can’t believe his eyes.

📣 “I was struck by these numbers. They stuck in my head because they have meaning for us. Later, on my phone, I came across the results and I thought there was something wrong. I checked the numbers a lot of times!” he confides, overcome with emotion.
