a short time later,lexi is set to call the number of the lottery,, she looks at the pile of tickets, it's not there? she looks through the pile of tickets again,and again,it's not there, fuck,she thinks where did she put it?,it was right here with the other's...she becomes frantic, where did you move it idiot,she scolds herself, she begins to think that maybe it was'ent real at all,that she imagined it, or dreamed it,and bought 9 tickets,instead of 10, why would she only buy 10, no,no she had it,it was here with the others, she sets at her desk,thinking over what she did, wih the tickets the night before.
hen glances at the book on the table,the voo-doo book, seeig something sticking from between the pages, it was the ticket, a sigh of relief, she was'ent losing her mind, why did she put it in the book? does'ent matter.
she calls, the number...a long, and she means long automation voice, informing her more than she ever wanted to know about the florida state lottery..finally, if you want to speak to an agent press one....the next voice, due to volume of calls, tour estimated wait time will be 20 minutes,, 20 minutes was more like 40, as she set listening to the same catchey tune,over,and over, hen finally a voice
hello, i'm carl, how may i help you
lexi, i think i have a winning ticket ,
carl..what type of ticket
lexi..just, a scratch off
carl ...ok, but what does it say

lexi...reads off the number
carl....ok, i;ll put you on hold,and ill check the numbers
lexi,once again,a long wait time,listening to the same tune
