history: i felt like things would go good when I bought a lottery ticket today i saw the lottery was for 36 million at the gas station so I decided to buy a ticket. Do you think you can win the lottery  hahaha no I don't at all but I was just really hoping that it would happen on the off chance.
current: Then why do you want to risk your money on such thing. Why not buy yourself a nice shoe instead 
next: well thats very true I guess since the ticket is only 2 bucks I figure what the heck
