    Do you play the Powerball or Mega-Millions lottery? If so, read this almost-completely-real-life short story, and hopefully you won't make the same multi-million-dollar blunder that Agents 32 and 33 did.

    While driving to a bar in uptown Charlotte to watch the Aston Villa - Liverpool football/soccer match, Agents 32 and 33 get some extremely deflating news concerning their lottery ticket.
