I was getting ready to leave for the day when I heard some cheering and shouting which caused a little commotion in the office.
Colleague kena first prize
My colleague had just looked at the 4D results and was showing off his wining 4D ticket with a huge smile on his face.
He had bought 20 big and 20 small, which came to a total prize amount of $100,000.
I was filled with envy and wished that it was me who had won the money instead. My colleague was so happy and proud of himself that I couldn’t help but be happy for him.
Everyone in the office was congratulating him and commenting on how lucky he was to get the first prize, something which many of us could not even get even after buying 4D for 10-20 years.
Promised to treat us dinner but act blur afterwards
After showing off his winnings, my colleague was so happy that he said that he would take all of us out for dinner on Friday after work.
He said that this luck does not come easily and he wanted to share part of his wealth with us as he believed that spending some of the sudden windfall from 4D away would give him good karma.
However, when Friday came, my colleague decided to leave without treating us all to dinner as promised. I couldn’t believe it.
He had promised us all a celebratory dinner and yet here he was, leaving without so much as a goodbye.
Did not expect him to be so stingy
As I drove home, I couldn’t help but feel bitter. How could someone be so selfish and stingy? He had just won $100,000 and if he did not mention about treating us to dinner then so be it but he had already said so and asked all of us out.
I couldn’t help but wonder if my colleague had spent all of his winnings already. I was surprised when I saw him at his desk, looking like nothing had happened the night before.
One of my other colleague then decided to disturb him, asking him when was the dinner.
He replied that he was busy and had to push the dinner for another day but every time when the date was nearing, he would always come up with some excuse.
It has been about half a year since he gotten the first prize in 4D, and the promised dinner has still not happened.
