A Ticket by the Beach

On a sunny afternoon in Panaji, a tourist from Mumbai stops by a small stall near Miramar Beach. Alongside cold drinks and souvenirs, the stall sells official Goa State Lottery tickets. He buys a ₹100 Goa Bumper ticket, then heads back to his hotel in Baga. The next evening, he checks the results on his phone while enjoying seafood at a beach shack — hoping the ocean breeze brings him luck.
