Lillie McFerrin Writes

The paper was thin, not particularly high quality, and the printing upon it washed out; you’d think it would look more, what?, important?

She held it, heart racing, disbelieving, in her hand : 10 - 40 - 63 – 64 – 69

She looked again at the sparkly blond on television with the basket of numbered balls and the five that had been selected and rowed up.

Yes, there they were:  10 - 40 – 63 - 64 – 60.

Maylene crumpled the paper into the pocket of her ripped jeans and turned back to dusting Mrs. Shepherd’s highboy.
