Think they fell from his bags. I scooped them up and yelled at him. He turned around, &#8220;are these yours?&#8221; He smiled and thanked me. I said good luck with your millions. Later I thought about various movies this could be. In one I kept the ticket and won 50 million dollars. In another I did the same but then lost my mind like Raskolnikov.
