history: I won a $2 lottery ticket. On a whim_comma_ I decided to buy a $1 lottery ticket_comma_ and to my surprise_comma_ I won $2 from that ticket. It was a small win_comma_ but I was very happy about it. I can see why you'd be happy about it_comma_ I mean you doubled up even with it being a small amount! Where did you buy it?
current: I happened to stop at a gas station, and was planning to only purchase gas. However, I was thirsty, so I actually went into the convenience store and saw the lottery sign, which motivated me to buy a ticket.
next: Wow, I mean everything happens for a reason.. That's great!
