Comparing things from One-Dollar-Gambler relates to Ah Boh in the Lottery.
Comparing how:one dollar,a "blind man", the number 13 and ultimately zero dollars to bet relate to Ah Boh.

One Dollar:
I feel that one dollar relates to Ah Boh as it is money to spend on betting and Ah Boh spent alot of money on betting.It can also be interpreted as having very little money and Ah Boh earned very little from working as a maid.

"Blind Man":
I feel that this can be interpreted as Ah Boh being blind to the effects of gambling and Ah Boh being blind to the fact that her mother is starving because Ah Boh decides to gamble her money away.

The number 13:
I feelthat the number thirteen can mean Ah Boh is unlucky as she rarely wins.I feel this way as number 13 is regarded as an unlucky number in western countries.

Ultimately zero dollars to bet on:
In the end, Ah Boh had very little money left to bet on and I feel zero dollars can refer to Ah Boh being poor after betting.

Remembering what life is.....
