[Bell rings]
20 bucks on pump 7.
Lucky 7.
You from around here?
Uh, I just moved.
Oh, yeah? Just moved?
For school.
Been here long?
I just asked that.
Heh heh.
I used to live here.
I knew all the spots.
I mean,
you gotta know 'em.
There are
some great places.
And not just for
gambling. There's more.
I mean, gambling, sure.
Do you gamble?
Sometimes.
Sometimes?
That means a lot.
Yeah.
How much is the Instant
Jackpot Madness?
30 million.
Jeez Louise! Why hasn't
somebody popped that bubble?!
I mean, like...
"Give me 1,000 tickets."
Anyone ever done that?
Why not?
Let's do it.
1,000 tickets.
Give me 1,000.
Uh, I don't think
I can do that.
Sure you can.
Yeah, count it.
I'll have to get
the manager.
Get him.
CASHIER:
Hi. Yeah,we have a customer
who wants 1,000
I.J.M. tickets.
Is that cash?
Yeah.
Okay.
He'll be right up.
I'm not authorized
for that much.
Okay.
So? Do you know
any good places?
Uh, a few.
I just got here.
Well, I could
show you Vegas. Yeah?
Sure.
Oh. Good times.

JOHN:
They sayyou make your own luck.
I never understood that.
You're either lucky,
or you're not.
When I lived in Las Vegas,
I had plenty of luck.
Problem was,
most of it was bad.
So... I drove until
I ran out of gas.
And... here I am.
For now,
I'm taking it slow
and steady.
My name is John,
and I used to be lucky.
I had a great run
for a while.
A smile from me,
or a nod,
and it was, "John, how
are you? Right this way."
I didn't have to order
the usual.
They brought it to me,
comped.
[Tires screech]
[Machine beeps]
[Clears throat]
your machine. It's broken.
The credit card
or the machine?
Five bucks
on pump number seven.
And three
Grand Gimmes.
Three Grand Gimmes.
And four
Who's Your Daddys.
And eight
Mega Mega Megas.
And eight
Mega Mega Megas.
That's 20.
JOHN:
Of course,Just to test the waters.
Because if my luck
comes back,
it would be foolish
not to capitalize.
[Applause and whistling]
[Scratching]
[Music playing]
[Huffs]
[Scratching]
[Coins jingling]
Who's Your Daddy.
Congratulations. $22.
22?
When the words "Who's",
"Your", and "Daddy appear,
one in each box,
that's 1,000.
one box... 22. You're up two.
Heard somebody won Instant
Jackpot Madness last night.
No.
I thought
somebody won.
It's up to 15 million.
15?
Just sayin'.
22, Instant
Jackpot Madness.
[Machine whirring]
Hey. You're not
allowed to look.
Do you have trash?
Don't forget your
five bucks on pump seven.
JOHN:
I guessI am pretty lucky.
I have a nice house
in a gated community...
a great job...
sitting in a cubicle,
filing claims,
logging calls.
WOMAN:
Thank you forcalling Townsend Insurance.
May I have your claim number?
JOHN:
And...I have the best seat
in the house.
Thank you for calling
Townsend Insurance.
Can I have your
claim number, please?
So, you know how you're always
playing those scratch card games?
No, I'm not.
My girlfriends and I
all chipped in
and bought a few,
and we won. $100.
Technically, $1,000,
but there were ten of us.
You won?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, we each bought
our own card,
and mine was called
"Who's Your Daddy".
Like,
who thinks of that?
Heh. I'll have to try that. Yeah.
I was using my nail
to scratch it off,
and, like,
nothing's coming off.
And the guy's, like, "You
have to use a quarter."
You should've played
Instant Jackpot Madness.
