She blinked, looked again, then laughed bitterly as she tossed the scratchie onto the table. “Just my luck” she said out loud, grabbing her coat and backpack on the way out. She left behind the little piece of cardboard, with the three matching cupcakes and the $20,000 designated prize amount printed in the winner’s square.
