It said—Last night, a gentleman named George Miller left an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come soon, Mr. Miller. About half an hour later, a middle-aged man rushed to Winston in a hurry and said, “It's you! I know you are an honest man and will certainly be here. ”
Winston asked, “Are you Mr. Miller? Did you lose anything?” “A lottery ticket!” answered the middle-aged man. Winston then returned it to the man. Yesterday when the man knew that his ticket was worth $ 500,000, he was so excited! Then he realized that he threw the ticket together with the money into the young man's hat!
