Beth's husband Tom was picking up a few things at the grocery store near their apartment. While he was paying for his groceries he heard a reporter on the television at the market reporting on the lottery drawing that evening. The cashier asked him if he wanted to try his luck. Tom thought about it and then replied Yes I think I'll give it a try. Tom walked out of the store feeling lucky and decided to have a beer at Hurley's Bar and Grille. The television there was on full blast and the reporter was calling out the numbers.</p><p></p><p>Tom looked at his numbers in disbelief and yelled out I think I have the winning numbers! Incredibly happy that he had somehow just won millions of dollars he began running down the sidewalk and sprinted across the street to his old black classic Pontiac Trans Am. He looked again at his lottery ticket and called his wife. He listened to the phone as it began to ring. Come on Beth answer your phone right now honey. Tom listened to her phone message and at the sound of the beep he spoke. Beth call me immediately when you hear this message! Tom put his cell phone down and started up his Trans Am.</p><p></p><p>A couple of minutes later as Tom drove through the middle of the intersection with a green light suddenly without any warning there was a flash of light as his Trans Am was broadsided by a speeding car running through a red light at an incredibly high rate of speed colliding with the Trans Am trapping Tom inside and unconscious.</p>
