The guy “I’m sorry you did not win”

Everyone knows Robert and everyone trusts him.


Robert is a shop assistant who is in a small village of 3000 souls with one large square. Whenever the old men of the country ask him to check if the lottery ticket is a winner, he inserts a losing ticket into the appliance and says:

I’m sorry you did not win

At that point, he throw the receipt in the trash and finally greets they with a big smile. No one has ever won in the country, no winning receipt has ever been displayed in the window. Robert was enriched thanks to the trust of the people but one day he did not go to work anymore. Someone says he won the lottery.

Basket full of paper
The clerk pretended to throw away the papers.
