"Are you going 1 to play this week? I need your $2," said 2 John. Joe said, "I think I'll pass this week." John said, "Are you sure? This might 3 be our week. I've got 4 a feeling 5." Joe said, "You've had 6 'a feeling' every week for the last year." They both laughed. Every Monday, John collected $2 each from 11 coworkers. They played the lottery 7 twice 8 a week, every week. Sometimes one coworker skipped a game or two. They had never won 9 more than a few 10 dollars. This week, five of the regular 11 players 12 chose not to play. "I'm tired of not winning," said Bill 13. "Two dollars every week adds up. I think I'm going to take a break for a whole 14 month." Mort wanted to play, but he didn't have any cash 15 on him. John said, "I'll put $2 in for you. You can pay 16 me back later 17." Mort thanked him.
