This is for you
The Annual Cent Sale, Saint George, Queensland
People meant business. As I looked around the table, I knew I didn't stand a chance - $5 worth of tickets versus $150 bought by the lady opposite me. But still I was hopeful, listening intently to each number called over the microphone. Number 639164 was never called, but as the day reached its end, the lady I sat beside handed me one of her two winnings. "This is for you."
