World-A Cup!

I ordered World Cup tickets almost a month ago. I received an email, in Korean, that I assumed told me to go to a local bank to pick them up. I showed the address to the taxi driver, a half hour later I was at the bank. I walked in, asked the guard where to pick up tickets and he pointed me to the right side of the bank. As I was waiting, I glanced at the sign overhead: Loans, Deposits, New Accounts, Lottery Tickets. Lottery tickets? At a bank??? Sure enough, there on the counter were stacks of scratch and win lottery tickets. I was tempted to buy one. Even though I couldn’t read the instructions. Even though I didn’t know the prize. But somehow wasn’t feeling the luck. Maybe next time…
