Every Morning the cycle begins again, we wake up chase after the day, eat, work, and eventually come home to my family.
It has been going on day by day most especially if you are a family man you hope for better days when you can turn things around for your family hoping to win some jackpot*
One Monday morning as any normal day leaving the house as usual before my family woke up, it was 8 in the morning I had left already in search of a better job to sustain my family These days felt different could I say the Lord finally answered my prayers anyway let me continue my story,
I was heading to the bus stop as usual, hoping to do my normal hustling to feed my family. I was standing beside a kiosk decorated for gambling, trying to relax for a while before my partner came to meet me. While I was awaiting a friend, Kunle, who sighted me from afar and approached me.
He shouted my name, Papa Chima, wetin you dey do for gambling spot.
Then I replied, I'm just relaxing, waiting for my partner, we could set off.
He smuggled and said anyway na you. Know it seems you also want to play gamble abi.
I replied and said No, Abahh na you. Know say I no dey play all this thing na.
He looked at me and said Na, you know I want to come claim my money.
I was looking in amusement and said you chop money ni.
He said yes, I don't chop oo today, I want to come play another one make I claim ham.
I was never a gambler at first, but the idea of him winning tuned me to try my luck. I said to myself, let me try and see just this once.
I turned to the lady, and she asked me what number I was playing. I said Play the same number as him.
Kunle looked at me and was angry, saying Why would I play the same number with him.
Kunle said," Papa Chima, no use, your bad luck spoils my game. Better pick another number, play now.
I said" no na no vex I just also wan try luck as you know.
He looked at me with an angry expression and said Pick another number.
I now picked a two off number from a moving vehicle.
I turned to the cashier and said Play me 25,50, put N1000 Naira.
Kunle looked at me in disbelief and said Omo, which kind of number did you pick like this You know.
I just said thank you sha make we try luck.
After a while, my partner came, we moved, and started our hustling work as usual.
That same night, I was so tired coming back from work, approaching home, when I saw Kunle at my house. I was wondering what had happened.
I asked him, Kunle, what you are finding here. He never gave me the chance to finish my sentence the next thing he asked me,
Papa Chima, wetin be that number wey you play again?
I totally forgot about the ticket, and I looked for his number that you were talking about.
The one for the kiosk, I saw you this morning.
I recalled the memory instantly and said Oh, na true make I check where I keep the ticket. After a while searching the ticket in my pocket, I looked at the number and said 25,50. Kunle looked at me and looked at his phone.
Papa Chima, you hit the jackpot. I was like jackpot how he said that number na two sure, and you don become millionaire. I shouted yehhh.
I said na lie, he said. No be lie ooo na from there I dey come oo wey I see the winning ticket na him I dey rush come your house come confirm ham.
Upon hearing this j was so happy I couldn't hold my excitement and said what a fateful day it was I cried bitterly and said I could finally achieve my dream of becoming a millionaire in this life.
