The other day I was on my way to a hike and I decided to stop at a convenience store to pick up a pumpkin latte and banana. I was so happy to find a pumpkin latte in the middle of the summer but you’re not here to read my favorite latte. As I went to the counter to pay, there was a man there requesting cigarettes that were behind the counter.  The gentleman in front of me took quite a while as he purchased four packs of cigarettes and debated on which scratch off lottery and power balls tickets he would buy. The gentleman knew immediately that he wanted the cigarettes but he contemplated for some time which lottery tickets he would buy based on the size of the potential lottery winnings. He conversed with the store clerk to see what the winnings would be if he won the lottery and determined based on her response, it was worth buying several tickets. At the end of his selections, his total was $64 dollars for cigarettes, scratch off tickets, and Powerball tickets.
