A very unlucky guy decided not to chip in for a lottery ticket with his co-workers and had to watch as his 7 co-workers won the 319 million dollar lottery. They said he would chip in every single week and would never miss a week, and this was the first time he skipped out. Bad luck doesn't begin to describe it.
