In an extraordinary stroke of luck, a man in Singapore found himself S$250 richer after placing a bet on his Taylor Swift concert queue number. The fortunate individual, who goes by the username “It’s not Marc” on TikTok, shared about his remarkable experience.
The man, known as @its_all_marc on TikTok, was among the countless fans caught up in the exhilarating rush of The Eras Tour ticket-buying frenzy during the UOB presale on July 5, 2023.
With the queue numbers surpassing a million, he held position 53875, which, relatively speaking, placed him at the front of the line.
Things took an unexpected turn when, after successfully selecting his seats, the TikToker encountered a frustrating roadblock. When he attempted to proceed with the checkout process, he received an error message stating that the error rate had exceeded the limit. This setback forced him back into the queue, alongside a million other hopeful fans.
Despite his initial determination, the TikToker eventually decided to throw in the towel, acknowledging the dwindling availability of tickets and the seemingly stagnant progress of the queue.
In a comment, he expressed his resignation while wishing luck to another fan. It appeared that his concert aspirations had come to an end.
However, the time he spent waiting patiently in the queue as the 53,875th person proved fortuitous. Struck by a sudden inspiration, he hatched a plan. Recognizing the numerical pattern in his queue number—5387—he decided to place a 4D bet on those four digits.
The twist of fate unfolded when the lottery draw on July 5, 2023, revealed that a permutation of his chosen number, 3785, had been drawn as a starter prize. To his delight, this stroke of luck earned him a sweet S$250, as he joyfully shared in his TikTok video.
