"Lottery", Little Ironies, By Catherine Lim
Analysis on Ah Boh's superstition regarding gambling.
Ah Boh did many things in the hope of winning Lottery such as:Listening to "tips" from fellow gamblers,recollecting dreams from the previous nights and trying to think what numbers they stood for,weighing a cat and taking down it's weight,putting pieces of paper with numbers on it on a baby's chest and noting down the first numbers that rolled off and many others including believing that new-born babies, marriages children celebrating their birthdays can bring her luck.She even believed that her husband had given her a sign that she would strike lottery soon.But the worst thing was, when there are car accidents, Ah Boh would go to the scene of accident and take down the car plate number of the car.
Thus,I conclude that Ah Boh was over superstitious thinking that it was possible to become rich overnight.
