The Gambler


How proud did I feel watching those words come up on the Tattersalls screen at the local newsagency? I made the retail assistant turn the screen around so the people behind could see while I captured the historic moment on film.
I then pocketed the massive $5 windfall from the $1 investment in the scratchie and went straight to the nearest coffee shop to spend it on a celebratory morning tea with Kingsley.

You are a winner!

Those screens never lie.

I bet that was a first - not the win but a customer taking a photo of the screen
