It was a satisfying "trolley dash" through the aisles, ticking off everything from wholemeal farmhouse loaves and arborio rice to mint dark chocolate and even some hair shampoo. The highlight of the trip was a personal milestone: for the very first time in my life, I bought a lottery ticket! Ms D had already filled out a lottery slip, and my task was to take it to the counter to have it processed and paid for. Since I’d never done anything with the lottery before, it was a brand-new experience for me! When I returned, I handed over the groceries along with the receipts and the change, and we confirmed everything was in order. It felt great to help her stock up her cupboards—and who knows, maybe that lottery ticket I registered for her will turn out to be a big winner! Fingers crossed!
