LOL - I guessed the ending, but that didn't take away from this hilarious read. I enjoyed this flash of fiction from start to finish. At first I thought your protagonist was the eternal optimist, but he was more practical than that, haha. Hugs, Lou

Hey Earl, feeling lucky? :) You should. This is very good. It got me laughing. I know about good and bad, but "If it weren't for bad luck I'll have no luck at all, goodness, gracious, agony and all. :) Got my truck stolen a few days back. :( This is a great entry for the This Sentence Starts the Story.

Remembered that's good;that's bad routine but had forgotten Archie Campbell.
This is a good tale, what job did he have that caused the FBI to raid and arrest everyone.

Comment from Justin Chopin
This was very funny Earl. I enjoyed the kind of Abbott and Costello " Who's on first" style of humor that you used for this piece. The part about your down trodden having a brain tumor that allowed him to see dragons was very amusing to me. Well done.

Comment from Spitfire
I thought the good/bad scenario looked familiar. Still, it's not easy to come up with all the reasons. A nice take on the give me twenty. Nice buildup of suspense as he scratched each spot with his nickel. (I can't remember if I sent this review. My mind gets confused some days.)

Original take on the good news / bad news scenario, I didn't see that one coming. You say it's not your usual style, but you've done a great job .
Well Done

Yep, the clerk being his last resort, which she should have figured long before punchline. LOL. It's always a great way to start off the day with a laugh. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had a six.

Comment from damommy
I enjoyed the good/bad things. I remember Archie Campbell. I take it there needed to be three tickets with $1,000,000 pay off. Poor clerk, but what a great twist ending.
